YouTube sensation Michelle Jenneke: track star to supermodel

Aussie track runner poses for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

Australian track runner, Michelle Jenneke placed fifth at the 2012 Junior World's in Barcelona. Now she can add bikini model to her resume.

Most models spend their entire career trying to nail this coveted position. Jenneke on the other hand was merely caught in a pre-game warm up dance that made her a sensation over night. She’s been mentioned on countless blogs and even on The Tonight Show. Her recent brush with international fame has made her one of few female athletes featured in the pages of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue.

The magazine features a plethora of models but selects a few female athletes to grace its pages. The 19 year old was extremely flattered by the honor saying in her Sports Illustrated profile video,"I was absolutely amazed when I found out [S.I.] wanted to shoot me because they're such a big name."

Should the beauty decide to deter from both track and modeling, she certainly has her options open.

News.com.au reports Jenneke studies mechatronic engineering, a combination of mechanical and electrical engineering at Sydney University.

Her mother Nicky told News "She's got to decide if she wants a future in athletics. It's just one of the many things she does in life."

she is much more attractive here than in the bikinis—which were not right for her body type at all... in my opinion...

Babe!!!

Awhhhh! I love gals wit soft feels...

What a babe.

I must be sick. I can’t watch Glee and if Scandal does another four minute gay/homo promo thing again, it’s off.

Hips, Lips and **ts are my thing...and those soft hairs on the neckline of a woman.

Katie(that’s what I call her) was recently heard to say her body suddenly failed on a photo shoot in the Antartic.

I could have helped her STAT and ensured her safety...

She's the best thing to come out of Australia since the TV Urinal from Britex.

Its installed wrong for the state of the union speech. The screen needs to be horizontal not vertical.

I wouldn't want the "urine" to be running off.

Mich's beauty (that's what I call her when we're alone .. ) is her smile.

We all loved her warm up dance, which didn't stop until she was in the blocks, but I think what many commenters here are missing (to say) is ... she marketed herself from the beginning.

If you watch the hurdle run, she's appealing to the cameras all the time until it's time to go to work, then after her job is done, it's back to the marketing ... big smile, (black panties peeking out from under spandex (who does THAT ???) and etc.

Mich's beauty is what we guys can detect as brains combined with female form and success ... an unbeatable combination.
What?

OK ... coming honey ...

Sorry guys ... gott'a go

Mich is lonely ...

(sighhhh )

>"I'm just saying she's not a supermodel." [Steely Tom]<

I agree. Attractive, yes, and with some extra points for being athletic, but not super (sorry about that, Knarf).

And I like your Potts-Pavarotti analogy: Potts video, Pavarotti video.

Compare the looks of this athlete with Venus and Serena Williams, and she is a super model.

It's like that guy Paul Potts, who blew the judges away singing 16 bars of Puccini. He sounded pretty good, had me fooled. Then I opened another browser window and spent about six seconds finding a YouTube video of Pavarotti singing the same phrase from the same opera. Yikes.

Come on.... Potts was an amateur. That's what the show was about, amateurs with talent. Comparing him to a professional isn't fair.
