Then she ran.Not nearly fast enough.Jenneke was eliminated in the opening round of the 100m hurdles at the Rio Olympics.The high-profile Australian trailed home sixth in her heat in 13.26 seconds, almost half a second slower than her personal best set last year.Jenneke was excited by the crowd before her debut Games showing and executed her trademark start-line jig.But the bubbly 23-year-old was admittedly disappointed with one of the worst races Ive ever done, saying shes been struggling with nerve pain for two weeks.Ive been on the table every day sorting that out, Jenneke said.But unfortunately I felt it grab on hurdle two.I tried to push past it but just couldnt get the same drive off my leg I wanted to.Jenneke is still better known for the warm-up dance that made her a global internet sensation at the 2012 world junior championships than she is for results on the track.The Sydney-based university student and one-time Sports Illustrated swimsuit model was the only athlete hand-picked for Coca-Colas Olympics campaign not to have won a medal.Twenty-three of the 24 hurdlers who qualified for the semi-finals went under 13 seconds in Tuesdays heats.Jenneke hasnt cracked that barrier since winning Aprils national championships in the absence of injured reigning Olympic champion Sally Pearson, who was unable to defend her title in Rio after doing her hamstring in June.Her run was almost half a second slower than any of Pearsons six times over the distance at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.Breaking 13 seconds isnt easy, said Jenneke, who has 340,000 Instagram followers.I was in form to break it today. I had a really good warm-up session, just didnt put the race together.I dont actually do that many competitive races throughout the season and its made me look to doing more going forward.But Im still young, I still live at home and am at university.At the moment athletics isnt my only priority.Pearson tweeted Jenneke after the race to acknowledge her good effort.

The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011.Mercedes say they are ready for the significant tension of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamiltons title-deciding Abu Dhabi showdown and hope the decider is settled by a fair fight. For the second time in three seasons, the all-Mercedes battle for the Drivers Championship comes down to a Duel in the Desert with Rosbergs 12-point advantage over Hamilton making him the clear title favourite.Hamilton on his unlikely title chances But while the wider focus will inevitably be on the two drivers performances on track in Abu Dhabi, Mercedes have promised to do their part in ensuring the title is not inadvertently settled by unreliability or team mistakes.This is the first time weve had a 21st race in any Formula 1 season and its fitting that such a record-breaking year should conclude with the Drivers Championship being fought right to the very end, said Paddy Lowe, Mercedes technical chief. Its great for fans of the sport. Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton go head to head in the Formula 1 World Championship decider from Abu Dhabi.

As a group, we now have one very important final duty this season - to give Nico and Lewis the platform they need to battle it out to the flag, said Wolff.ddddddddddddBoth of them have been exceptional and either one would make a worthy champion.While Rosbergs title challenge was ultimately ended by unreliability in the first Duel in the Desert of 2014, Hamiltons championship defence this year has been affected by engine failures and the Briton admits he is faced with pretty impossible odds no matter what I do this weekend. However, having had experience of unexpected final-day turnarounds earlier in his career, Hamilton added: I cant and wont give up. You never know what might happen - however unlikely it may seem.Although he missed out on his first match point to clinch his maiden title in Brazil, Rosberg says he is relaxed about the challenge ahead in Abu Dhabi and does not see a reason to change his season-long mantra of taking one race at a time.Ive had a great week, relaxing and catching up with my family and friends, so I feel like Im in a good place. In Brazil, after the race, I was joking that I would still be taking things one race at a time. But, the more I think about it, the more thats actually not as crazy as it sounds.
