Australian Hurdler Michelle Jenneke & Her 'Jiggling' Warm-Up Routine Are Headed To The Olympics As A Captain

Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke and her viral "jiggling" warm-up routine are headed back to the Olympics.  The 31-year-old isn't just back in the summer games for the first time since 2016, she's headed to Paris as a captain.

While her warm-up routine made her an internet legend, and landed her a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot, injuries slowed her career on the track.  She's battled all the way back and has once again reached the top of her sport.

Jenneke announced on Wednesday that she's headed to the games as a Team Captain of the Aussie Olympics Athletics Team alongside "legends" Daniel Golubovic, Linden Hall and Rhydian Cowley.

Naming Michelle Jenneke a captain is an obvious choice in my book.  She's all the way back from injury, she's a legend, and she's back on top of her game.

According to Olympics.com - sounds official - she has clocked the 10 fastest times of her career in the period from 2022 to 2023.  On top of that, she finished 14 competitions in 2023 with a time sub 13-seconds.

That's the kind of performance you want out of an Olympic captain.  And let's not forget about that warm-up routine.  It's legendary and deserves another Olympic run.

Let's face it, Jenneke's been at this a longtime now.  Injuries have threatened her career before.  Who knows how many more opportunities she'll have to compete in the Olympics? 

Olympic athletes, like any other, only have a small window to perform at the highest levels.  Their performance eventually falls off, and they find themselves on the outside looking in.

Obviously, that time hasn’t arrived yet for Jenneke.  She's still an Olympic hurdler and that's good news for us all.  Especially the new generation of fans that are about to discover her elite, more than a decade-old, warm-up routine.
