Olympic Hurdler Michelle Jenneke Brought the Vibes to Las Vegas – Yahoo Life

Australian athleteMichelle Jennekeis a force on the track and in front of the camera. The Olympic hurdler, who competed at the 2016 games in Rio De Janeiro, made her SI Swimsuit debut in the 2013 issue.

Jenneke has made it to the semi-finalsin each of the five World Championships she has competed in, and won gold medals in both the 100 meter hurdles and 4x100 meter relay at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. She participated in the 2023 World Championships at the end of August, and finished 14th overall.

I like the challenge of hurdling. Its a little more technical than straight sprinting, she shared. Its just something that I feel I was born to do.

The 30-year-old posed for photographer James Macari in Las Vegas, and lucky for you, were making an exception to the what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas rule by reflecting on the stunning and moody pics.

I was absolutely amazed when I found out that Sports Illustrated wanted to shoot me because theyre such a big name and its just such an amazing experience. I loved all the suits there were so many Id love to take home with me, Jenneke said while on location. Everyonemade me feel really comfortable. I actually like fell into the whole modeling thing a lot easier than I thought I would. I look at the pictures [and] Im like Wow, is that really me? They turned out so much better than I thought they would.

Below are five marvelous pics of the athlete in Las Vegas.
