Michelle Jenneke knows what it is like to win, as she won silver at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and the 2016 Australian Athletics Championships, per Wikipedia.
Her success on the track and trending for her dance led to a modeling career, including a major Coca-Cola sponsorship deal and an appearance on Top Gear.
These days, she is currently in the midst of trying to pursue a BA in Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney and competing under a scholarship for The University of Sydney Athletics Club.
The 31-year-old punched her ticket to Paris when she ran 12.88 seconds at the Australian National Championships in April.
