Michelle Jenneke Dance Viral, Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke is doing all she can to keep pace with other racers in the world and recently tried to do so at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona last week. While her running may be important, the focus across the internet has been on a video of the warm-up dance that Jenneke did before her last race which saw her wiggle, jump, and bounce around.
The clip of Jenneke was put online on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 and has already seen its views spike over two million. Followers on Twitter have been calling her “The Hottest Hurdler Ever.”
Many versions of the video have hit the net including the original and then many others set to music, slowed down, and some even sped up. Jenneke has quickly become an internet sensation and is seeing her face everywhere.
It’s a shame that her warm-up routine didn’t help her do too well in the race because she ended up placing fifth overall.
The dance done by Jenneke did seem to improve the mood of everyone around her though. Race officials behind her tried to hold back their smiles, but couldn’t help and let it slip while the young hurdler bounced and danced.
