Michelle Jenneke in Sports Illustrated magazine

Remember Michelle Jenneke, the Australian athlete? She became famous courtesy of a youtube video going viral....  The viral video had Michelle Jenneke doing her usual dancing warm-up routine before her hurdles race last year at the IAAF World Junior Championship.

Check out my earlier post on her - Michelle Jenneke who??

Now, Sports Illustrated has featured her in their February 2013 issue with three other sports women. The other athletes featured are Hawaiian surfer Alana Blanchard and Dutch hockey stars Ellen Hoog and Eva de Goede. Michelle Jenneke has certainly used her fame to good use by featuring in the Sports Illustrated photo shoot.

Everyone is looking forward to London Olympics 2012 which is starting this weekend... but most of the world this week was talking about a specific athlete who is not going to be there.. Michelle Jenneke, the 19-year-old Australian 100-meter hurdles runner... who has taken the world by storm with her simple n sexy dance routine in preparation for her 100-meter hurdles event.

Check out some of her pictures with her dance routine... there is a special gif showing her dance routine too.. there are many sites with Michelle Jenneke's video of her dance routine but am not including this here for a change :)
