Impressed? How Would Obama, Maroney Feel About These Memorable Olympian Visits?

Over the weekend, a photo of President Barack Obama and Olympic gold medalist McKayla Maroney made the rounds online. The Internet, as a whole, was impressed.

Maroney, a 16-year-old world-class gymnast, became a viral photo sensation after her 2012 Olympic win, when she was photographed making a less-than-impressed face at the announcement of her silver medal win on the vault.

Thursday afternoon, Obama took on the pose, with arms crossed and lips pursed to the side and nose scrunched up, with Maroney. The L.A. Times wrote that even “Maroney was impressed” with the photo.

She told the Associated Press it was Obama’s idea to recreate the now-famous pose, a viral look that’s got a lot of fans behind it. It wasn’t long until the McKaylaIsNotImpressed Tumblr page was inserting the image into all sorts of scenes and situations.

Though Obama made a point of doing a cheeky pose with Maroney, he’s not the first U.S. president to have a photo op with an Olympic athlete. The tradition of high-profile athletes visiting the White House has gone on for decades.
