Michelle Jenneke – Olympic Hurdler
Michelle Jenneke’s viral pre-race warm-up dance in 2012 finally swept over social media. Jenneke, a hurdler, begins her pre-race warm-up ritual with a bright smile and a lot of hip-shaking. Jenneke was never at the pinnacle of her profession, thus she would not have achieved the fame she has without the routine. She qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, but finished 37th.
Lindsey Vonn – Olympic Skier
Lindsey Vonn is the most decorated female skier in World Cup history, with a trophy cabinet loaded with medals. Nonetheless, she is still haunted by the medals she did not receive at the 2014 Winter Olympics. Vonn did lose a significant amount of time due to an injury, as many other sportsmen do at some point in their careers. Unfortunately, Vonn’s injury prevented her from defending her Olympic gold medal.
