Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova is known as the loudest women in sport, but according to US 100m star Tyson Gay, world indoor 60m hurdles champion Lolo Jones might be able to give her a run for her money, spikesmag.com reports.  

Gay, who was watching Jones compete at the US Track and Field Championships in Des Moines at the weekend, reportedly asked the hurdler if she was screaming whilst she ran?

Writing on her official Twitter page, Jones wrote about her chat with Gay and even joked that maybe she is not dissimilar to the Russian tennis ace.

“I ran into Tyson Gay, he asked: ‘were u screaming in the race?’ 

“I said, ‘we all make noise running.’ ”

“He said, ‘no I heard u specifically,’ #Sharapova.” 

The expressive Sharapova, who meets Serena Williams today in the fourth round of the Wimbledon Championships, has a ‘grunt’ measured at 101 decibels, which is only nine below a lion’s roar.
