McKayla Maroney Is Finally Impressed After Michael Phelps Becomes Olympic-Meme King

McKayla Maroney Last Laugh After Leaked Selfies

The internet has crowned Michael Phelps as King of the Olympic Memes, and the former title-holder McKayla Maroney couldnt be happier.

If you remember anything about McKayla Maroney, hopefully its her near-perfect vault at the 2012 London Olympics that helped Team USA clinch the gold for the Gymnastics team finals.Or maybe you remember her name from the many post-Olympic appearances the Fierce Five made after returning home from London, which included a visit to the White House.

But most likely, you remember her infamous photothat went viral during the 2012 games.

After falling during her dismount, the worlds greatest vaulter at the time settled for the silver medal for the Individual Vault, an event she should have easily won gold in. Maroney shocked the world, and herself, when she fell on a vault she had completed perfectly every time she attempted it in the few months prior. During the medal ceremony, Maroney let her cool slip for a single second, making a face that proved she was less than thrilled about placing second and watching someone else be awarded what many considered her gold medal.

Thus the McKayla Maroney not impressed meme was born.

The smirking picture of Maroney sparked aTumblr page solely dedicated to photos of Maroney looking not impressed at various moments when one would undoubtedly, well, be impressed.

Maroney isnt competing at this years games due to a range of injuries, but it seems the 20-year-old has struck gold. Much to her delight, she has been dethroned as the meme champion of the Olympics, allowing the gold-medal-winning Michael Phelps to take her place.

Somebody tweeted like, McKayla looks like somebody took your spot ... and I looked at his pictures and was like, YES! Go Michael, take it away please! Maroney told TMZ about Phelps now-iconic scowl.

While gearing up for a swimming semi-final race, the champion swimmer encountered his arch-nemesis, South Africas Chad le Clos, who beat him at the 2012 games by a mere five-hundredths of a second. Cameras caught Phelps glowering at le Clos with a look we wouldnt wish on our worst enemy, and almost instantaneously, Maroneys reign as Queen of the Memes was over.

The internet did what it always does when even a small umbrella worth of shade is thrown and quickly produced a stream of hilarious memes featuring Phelpsglare.

I now see why people thought (the memes were) so funny, added Maroney.

We imagine its much easier to laugh when the whole world tweets about someone elses face.

Captivating photo shows Simone Biles" amazing concentration while flipping upside down over the four-inch wide ...

Simone Biles tumbles her way to a gold medal for Team U.S.A.

Of all of the gravity-defying stunts gymnasts pull, their seemingly impossible moves on the four-inch-wide balance beam are particularly daunting.

Lest anyone think it"s easy, flipping upside down on the beam is not only athletically challenging it requires intense concentration.

A snapshot of Simone Biles mid-flip, staring intensely at the beam while hovering just inches above it, during the women"s team finals proves how ridiculous these athletes are.

Look at that concentration!

NBC

Aerial photos of the beam show how small the gymnasts" margin of error is.

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Real Madrid training a month after limping out of Euro 2016 final

Carvajal"s goal seals it for Real Madrid late in extra-time | 2016 UEFA Super Cup Highlights

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Real Madrid training just a month after suffering sprained collateral ligament damage in his left knee.

The Portuguese sustained the injury in the first half of the Euro 2016 final against France on July 10.

It was thought that the 31-year-old would need eight weeks to recover but now it appears he is ahead of schedule.

Portuguese teammate Pepe was there to greet Ronaldo at Ciudad Real Madrid on the outskirts of the Spanish capital.

Zinedine Zidane"s side did not need Ronaldo to dispatch Sevilla 3-2 after extra-time in the UEFA Super Cup on Tuesday with Dani Carvajal scoring a superb winner.

Los Merengues face Real Sociedad in their La Liga opener on August 21, which could be circled as the game that Ronaldo returns in some capacity.

Next up is Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu on August 27.

Madrid then have a two week gap before taking on Osasuna on September 10 - which could be a wiser date to play again to ensure the former Man United star has completely recovered.

According to Bild, Ozil would be enthusiastically ready to make a return to Real Madrid, the club he left Arsenal for just three years ago.

Man Utd transfer news and rumours: Real Madrid offer for David De Gea "rejected" and United look to offload Bastian ...

Real Madrid vs. Sevilla | 2016 UEFA Super Cup Highlights

Manchester United have announced the signing of Paul Pogba in a world-record transfer from Juventus.

Pogba, 23, has signed a five-year contract with the option of a sixth season after United agreed to pay the Italian champions 105million (89m) over the course of two years.

That figure beats the estimated 85m that Real Madrid paid Tottenham for Gareth Bale in 2013 in the previous world-record deal.

Juventus revealed United could owe them a further five million euros (4.25million) if certain sporting targets are reached during the course of Pogba"s contract.

Pogba left United four years ago for a nominal fee, and went on to win four Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia twice while his reputation grew - persuading Jose Mourinho to pay a colossal sum to bring him back to Old Trafford.

"I am delighted to rejoin United," Pogba said. "It has always been a club with a special place in my heart and I am really looking forward to working with Jose Mourinho.
