McKayla is not impressed: Gymnast makes fun of herself after her scowling silver medal face sweeps the internet

McKayla Maroney rose to fame as one of the world's most talented gymnasts - but she sealed that fame with a disastrous fall in Olympic competition which cost her the chance of a gold medal.
That embarrassing tumble, and the way the athlete failed to hide her anger, has been a gift to online comedians, who have turned photographs of the very public event into a hilarious new meme.
But the 16-year-old has proven that she has a sense of humour by making fun of herself in a picture she posted to Twitter today.

Humorous: Maroney Tweeted a photograph of herself alongside fellow U.S. gymnasts Kyla Ross and Aly Raisman at a swimming pool with the caption: 'The pool is closed.. #notimpressed'

Maroney Tweeted a photograph of herself alongside fellow U.S. gymnasts Kyla Ross and Aly Raisman at a swimming pool with the caption: 'The pool is closed.. #notimpressed'.
All three gymnasts pulled scowling faces similar to Maroney's expression after she failed dismount properly in the individual women's vault portion of the games and landed in second place.

 

Though many would be thrilled with a silver medal, the 16-year-old did not keep her emotions to herself as she wore a disapproving frown throughout the awards ceremony.
Now that frown has become a vital part of the latest meme created in her honor.

Not impressed: A new Tumblr juxtaposes McKayla Maroney's disappointed scowl from the medal podium with iconic moments throughout history and popular culture, including this Situation Room scene when Osama bin Laden was killed

World records aren't a big deal: McKayla is not moved by Usain Bolt's Olympic moment

Where is the love! One Tumblr user posted McKayla disapprovingly glaring at Kate and Will's wedding kiss

A new Tumblr called 'McKayla Is Not Impressed' places the scowling teen wearing her silver medal next to some iconic moments in history, though none appear significant enough to break a smile onto McKayla's face.
The Sistine Chapel, Michaelangelo's masterpiece that is at the heart of the Vatican's immeasurable art collection? She's seen better.
The tense moment when President Obama, Vice President Biden, Secretary of state Clinton and other top security officials gathered to watch the final moments in the hunt for Osama bin Laden unfold? Not that big of a deal.
The recent mission to Mars or the historic moon landing? Both aren't that out of this world.

Curiosity: When the space shuttle landed on Mars, many were thrilled. Not McKayla

The Moon Landing: Been there, done that

The Sphinx and the pyramids: She could have built those.

The meme becomes particularly internalized when her looming figure is juxtaposed to other Olympic greats.
Fellow American Ryan Lochte's gold medal and patriotic grill don't impress McKayla, and neither does Usain Bolt's new world record. She could probably do better.
When it comes to McKayla herself, she appears to have a good sense of humor about the internet trend as she retweeted a link to the site on her personal feed.
The next step is to see if her nearly 330,000 followers are as impressed as she is.

Is that supposed to be cool? Even fellow American Olympian Ryan Lochte isn't spared McKayla's withering glare
