Michelle Jenneke became an Internet sensation during the summer of 2012 when a video clip of the Aussie hurdler's pre-race dance routine almost instantaneously went viral.

Due to the overwhelming response to the video, the easy on the eyes sprinter is now parlaying its success into an appearance inside the pages of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

Jenneke, 19, gained notoriety when a YouTube user uploaded the footage of her excitedly bouncing around at the IAAF World Junior Championship in Barcelona last summer. Although she didn't make it into the Olympics, her natural beauty indeed boosted her popularity amongst female track and field notables.

Nonetheless, SI took notice of Jenneke and she went on to appear in the featured issue of the magazine as well as a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot.

The latest footage shows the athlete elaborating on her love for the sport of hurdling, saying that it's a bit harder than straight sprinting. While she was very enthusiastic to be featured in SI, the achievement itself still hasn't quite set in for Jenneke.

"I was absolutely amazed when I found out Sports Illustrated wanted to shoot me. I looked at the pictures and I think, wow, is that really me?"

With Leather originally had posted live streaming footage of the Jenneke's sexy shake. However, the clip was later edited into "overt celebration of Jenneke and her dancing and running presented in gratuitous slow motion, and with an awful song to it."

Leather clearly was unremorseful over their sexually charged and edited version of the video. However, USA Today was more liberal in their description as they coined Jenneke's hip shaking hoopla a "unique way of stretching."

Jenneke is expected to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and will surely look to move her hips in celebration to a gold medal victory.
