All Heart: Michelle Jenneke Hurts Herself With A Nasty Fall Over A Hurdle, Drags Herself To The Finish Line So She's Eligible To Race Again
Brutal start for our girl Michelle Jenneke. She was in a good spot in the heat, ended up eating it over a hurdle and hurting herself
But this isn't about the crash. Oh no, it's about having all heart, a bully heart if you will. Michelle Jenneke is one of the most famous names on the Internet thanks to her shimmy warm up that we all fell in love with over a decade ago.
She battled back to make the Olympics again after competing in 2016. Not only that but she was named a captain:
You know what a captain does? Get up, drag yourself to the finish line so you're still eligible for the repechage which is basically a rescue round that the Olympics are doing for the first time this year. Go race again tomorrow and try to advance to the semifinals again. That's what a captain does. That's what a true Olympian does. You don't sit on the track and get pissed that you crashed, you shimmy again damnit!

This should be applauded. I don't care that she isn't American, we all are Michelle Jenneke fans. Go win the repechage and heal up.
