The high-profile Australian trailed home sixth in her 100m hurdles heat in Rio de Janeiro in 13.26 seconds, almost half a second slower than her personal best set last year.

She performed her trademark warm up dance before her 100m heat

Despite there being high hopes for the bubbly 23-year-old - who was this year named the face of Coca Cola's Rio campaign alongside Jamaican Kemar Bailey-Cole - the one-time Sports Illustrated model did not even make it to the finals.

After the race Jenneke said she was disappointed with 'one of the worst races I've ever done', saying she's been struggling with nerve pain for two weeks.

She plans to get faster and hopes to perform well at the next Commonwealth Games, which will be held on the Gold Coast in April 2018.

On Wednesday morning Jana Pittman, a two-time 400m hurdles world champion, said Jenneke's poor performance may have come down to the expectations placed on her.

Some commenters on social media suggested Jenneke focus on her running rather than dancing

Unfortunately we associate fame with an automatic medal chance.

This poor girl has had the expectation of the nation and the eyes of the world on her but she's not quite at that standard yet.

Breaking 13 seconds isn't easy,' said Jenneke, who has 340,000 Instagram followers.
