Youtube! Michelle Jenneke danced in “Olympic 2012” for “The Hottest Hurdler Ever”

A young Australian hurdler is taking the Internet by storm with a warm-up dance she performed during the IAAF World Junior Championship last weekend in Barcelona.

To shake off pre-race jitters, Michelle Jenneke, wearing a bright green ribbon in her hair, smiles as she hops up and down, wiggling her hips and waving to the crowd.

The 19-year-old's warm-up routine has had nearly 133,000 views since it was uploaded to YouTube yesterday, with Twitter users labelling her 'The Hottest Hurdler Ever'.

According to Bleacher Report, a sports blog titled With Leather originally posted unedited, live-stream footage of her warm up dance.

However it was taken down and replaced with an 'overt celebration of Jenneke and her dancing and running presented in gratuitous slow motion, and with an awful song over it.'

With Leather was unapologetic about drawing attention to Miss Jenneke's warm-up dance, releasing its own super slow-motion cut, which has created an online storm.

One Twitter user wrote: 'I have a new female hurdler to cheer for. Junior hurdler Michelle Jenneke dances then wins.'

Another added: 'Michelle Jenneke Might Be the Hottest Hurdler Ever.'

However, in line with the Bleacher report, the video has also sparked comment about its sexual overtones.

One tweeted: 'We can all agree that no one ever would have noticed Michelle Jenneke if she hadn't been jumping up and down, right?'

Interestingly, the Australian media is yet to comment on its own hurdling superstar.
