McKayla Rose Maroney (born December 9, 1995) is an American artistic gymnast. Born in Aliso Viejo, California, Maroney started gymnastics at the age of two. She began her senior career in 2011, and in that year's World Championships, she won gold medals in the team and vault competitions. Maroney was then a member of the Fierce Five, the U.S. women's gymnastics team that won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Later in the Olympic Games, she won the silver medal on vault; her "not impressed" face on the medal podium was photographed and became an Internet meme.
