McKayla Maroney Falls, Lets Out Her Inner "Mean Girl"
Not a good day for the Internet’s favorite American gymnast.
2. You remember her from the perfect vault she did in the Women’s Team Gymnastics final.
3. The one that was so good it made the judge’s jaw drop.
4. Well yesterday was the Women’s Vault Final, and Maroney was the hands down favorite to win gold.
5. Her first vault was unsurprisingly awesome.
She did land slightly on the red, which is good for a deduction, but as the announcer Shannon Miller said, “she has so little execution deduction in the air, that it’ll still be a huge score.” It was. Maroney’s 15.866 would be and remain the highest scored single vault in the Women’s Vault Final.
7. But on the second vault the unthinkable happened.
Maroney fell down. According to Deadspin Maroney hadn’t missed on a vault in her last 33 attempts. Even with the fall, she ended up missing out on gold by only .108 points.
Maroney’s reaction to winning silver? Let out your inner “mean girl.”
16. The “Did you really think I’d be happy with silver?” Face

tud 9 months agoi seriously think she needs a stake driven through her heart just like a vampire.
and then she should be tarred and feathered.
and then we should cut off her head and stick it on a pike and parade it around times square screaming and singing the national anthem. and then we should…and then.., and then.. and then…. -

RhiRiot 9 months agoI think more athletes need to show their emotions. We are human and we’ve lost this due to “piss poor political correctness”. Oh don’t celebrate too much, you’ll make the losers feel bad. Oh don’t be a sore loser, it’s bad sportsmanship. Fuck that. I say let them show their disappointment and resentment. They worked SOOO HARD and then they aren’t allowed to express themselves b/c it might upset someone else? That’s stupid and I think if this younger girl wants to be pissed off, let her be. It’ll build character and make her work harder. I know I work harder when I’m pissed off. I don’t know anyone who accomplished anything by being okay with just being “okay”. Be pissed off, get that fire and kick some butt, but then *leave it on the mat* b/c beyond that you’re just being a psychopath.

Amanda MacArthur 9 months agoIt’s not her fault she has a perpetual bitchface with that makeup on. When I saw her without makeup I was actually a little shocked.

haroldm3 9 months agoI kind of liked her attitude. After watching the slo mo too many times, it is obvious that she did not have the height in the vault to complete the routine. She has done a fantastic job in the Olympics along with the rest of her team. All of you couch potato judges need to back off. She was mad at herself more than any one else. I’m sure we have all had that moment. It just wasn’t caught on camera for all of the world to see. Now a cat fight on the podium would have been interesting…

From watching the slo mo over and over, it’s obvious she did not have the height to complete the routine. She is still the best and I like her attitude. She was mad at herself for failing. All of you couch potato judges give her a break.
Now a cat fight on the podium would have been entertaining. -

Dude, she’s 16 years old [read: a kid]. She can get away with this kind of behavior, on the world stage or not. Have you adults forgotten so quickly what it’s like to be an over-confident or highly-insecure young person?? So quick to judge.

sufferingzen 9 months agoThis is so gendered, it’s gross. I read through all these “bitch” and “spoiled brat” and “poor sportsmanship” comments about a 16-YEAR-OLD GIRL, and they all made me think about this quote from “The L Word”: “What I want is for you to write ‘Fuck me’ on your chest. And then I want you to walk out that door, and I want you to walk down the street. And anybody that wants to fuck you, say, ‘Sure, sure, no problem’. And when they do, you have to say, ‘Thank you very, very much’, and make sure that you have a smile on your face, and then, you stupid fucking coward, you’re going to know what it feels like to be a woman.” If you are a woman, no matter how young, you always have to smile, and be gracious, and be sweet and pretty and approachable and benign, even if disappointed and crushed and furious at yourself and just want to go home, because if you show any actual human emotion, you are a bitch and a cunt and you deserve public ridicule.
