MICHELLE Jenneke, the Australian hurdler who leapt to stardom last year with her pre-race dance routine, is set to feature in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition.

Jenneke turned heads and became an internet sensation with her warm-up routine before the 100m hurdles at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona last year.



And now she's certain to get plenty more attention after being one of four athletes chosen to feature in the popular sports mag's swimsuit issue.



Picked to appear under the 'athletes' section, the young Aussie appears alongside US surfer Alana Blanchard and Dutch hockey stars Ellen Hoog and Eva de Goede.

While Jenneke's pre-race jiggle made her a viral hit across the globe, her mother Nicky, told News Limited last year the routine was nothing out of the ordinary.





























"She's been doing this the last three years," Nicky Jenneke said.



"She doesn't get nerves before a race, she just gets very excited."

Jenneke is not just blessed with beauty and a bubbly personality.



She has deferred a course in mechatronic engineering at Sydney University, a combination of mechanical and electrical engineering.
