Michelle Jenneke is an Australian hurdles athlete internationally known for her looks and signature move before a race.
Jenneke, who rose to fame in 2012 when a video of her dancing before her 100-meter hurdles event at the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Barcelona went viral, will be back in the spotlight when the 2024 Paris Olympics come around later this month.
She is already going viral just this week as she took to her X account, formerly Twitter, and shared an adorable picture of herself smiling and doing her little dance before a race.

Michelle Jenneke knows what it is like to win, as she won silver at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and the 2016 Australian Athletics Championships, per Wikipedia.
Her success on the track and trending for her dance led to a modeling career, including a major Coca-Cola sponsorship deal and an appearance on Top Gear.
These days, she is currently in the midst of trying to pursue a BA in Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney and competing under a scholarship for The University of Sydney Athletics Club.
The 31-year-old punched her ticket to Paris when she ran 12.88 seconds at the Australian National Championships in April.

‘PB by this much!!! 12.65 at the FBK Games [World Athletics event in the Netherlands] last night for the fastest race of my life,’ she posted to social media.
‘Thanks so much to the amazing crowd who stuck it out through the rainy weather to cheer us on.’
