Gymnast McKayla Memes - The dedication of memers
When I first saw this, I didn't know who McKayla Maroney was and I thought okay, yeah, she looks pretty displeased; she's probably a Russian gymnast and the meme maker's just having a go at it:


Keywords: McKayla Maroney, memes, silver medal, gymnastics

...not a great meme by any means but then I had to investigate, I just wanted to see the actual medal ceremony to see what the fuss was all about. Then I find out that some uber Maroney-meme enthusiast has created this:

They even provide you with a neatly photoshopped Mckayla cut out, downloadable straight from the site to create and upload more new Mckayla memes:

After her silver medal performance in the 2012 Summer Olympics, Maroney was photographed on the podium with arms crossed and a scowl on her face. The photo sparked an Internet meme entitled "McKayla is not impressed". The memes are comprised of images of key historic, cultural, and sporting events transposed with a photo of Maroney's "unimpressed" face. Regarding the photo, Maroney stated that she wanted to appear as expressionless as possible to avoid showing her disappointment, and that she "wasn't thinking straight and totally forgot what to do."

I meant to mention, Mckayla is an American gymnast.

When I first saw the meme, I wasn't paying much attention to it and I assumed she was Russian because I've seen videos of Russian gymnasts where they are seriously, very very stern and react with severe unhappiness at anything less than first placement. Mckayla being American has switched my perception, because it suggests this trait has something to do with the gymnastics sport, perhaps some aspect of their training, that causes such thick reactions to being regarded as anything but the best.
