Facing Too Much Pressure
Sadly, things did not turn out great for the athlete at the Rio Olympics. First, things looked up because she was named ‘the face of Coca-Cola’ along with Kemar Bailey-Cole. However, she failed to live up to the outrageous expectations placed upon her.
She finished in 13.26 seconds, taking sixth place and not advancing to the semi-finals. Even though she was a viral hit, which we will reveal why, she did not have a good day on the track during the Olympics. So, back to the viral hit…
Drawing Media Attention
Back to the big moment at the 2012 games…a spectator happened to capture Michelle during her warm up. What he caught on tape would forever change her life. At just 19 years old, Michelle was standing next to her competitors when someone filmed her.
Just her small actions ended up making a huge impact around the world. The young athlete would have never dreamed her warm up routine could propel her so far. Since when would an athlete guess it would be a few tiny moves that would make her famous and not her athletic prowess?
