Olympian Jenneke topples over during weights session

Australian hurdler Michelle Jenneke became an internet sensation for her warm-up dance before a race but her latest sporting feat is just as impressive.

The Sydney-based athlete shared a clip of herself on social media trying to lift an 80 kilogram barbell during a training session at the NSW Institute of Sport.

Her first attempt doesn't go so well with Jenneke toppling backwards on to the mat as the bar rolls over her.

With her trainer shouting "You've got this" in the background her next attempt goes much better and she manages to lift the bar successfully on to her chest.

Jenneke was criticised after flopping in the 100-metre hurdles at the Rio Olympics but her next result is sure to be much better if she maintains this level of dedication
