Michelle Jenneke reveals her injuries after horror fall left her Paris Olympics dreams on a knife edge

Olympic dance queen Michelle Jenneke has revealed she has suffered injuries after a shocking fall on the tarmac, putting the Australian hurdler’s hopes of competing at the Paris Games in jeopardy.

The 31-year-old ran the third heat and had a strong start in the first two hurdles, but in the third heat she hit her right leg hard.

She immediately lost her balance after colliding with the hurdle, was thrown forward and landed hard on her left side.

Jenneke quickly got up and attempted the next hurdle, on the track of the runner to her right.

However, a second disaster almost struck when she failed to make the required run-up to the hurdle and knocked it down but was able to stay on her feet and continue the race.

She made it to the finish line and by completing the race, she will compete in the repechage later today, meaning she has a second chance to qualify.

Although she finished the race in a different lane to where she started, the Australian will not be disqualified.

Jenneke posted photos of her injuries on social media after the race.

She was able to finish the race and will get a second chance in the repechage for the hurdles.

Jenneke posted an update on her injuries and thanked fans who wished her well

“Thank you everyone for the well wishes!” she wrote.

‘I don’t feel that bad, but I’m still waiting for the results of my leg.

‘A little bit burned by the track, but considering the big crash it’s not too bad.

“The most important thing is that I’m still smiling and I know I’m ready for a great race if everything goes well.”

Jenneke won silver at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and the 2016 Australian Athletics Championships, qualifying for the Rio Olympics.

She has also won hearts with her signature warm-up dance before competitions.

Jenneke is Australia’s second fastest 100m hurdler after Sally Pearson and has won hearts with her signature dance that she performs before competitions

One version of the video has been viewed 27 million times on YouTube and made headlines worldwide.

She set a personal best of 12.65 for the Games. With this time she could have qualified for the next round without having to do a repechage.

Jenneke enjoyed a successful modelling career, including a major sponsorship deal with Coca-Cola and an appearance on Top Gear.

This time makes her the second-fastest Australian hurdler ever, after Sally Pearson, whose time of 12.28 set in 2011 still stands as the national record.

Her series was won by American star Masai Russell who finished in a time of 12.53.
