Remember When? (Part IV)

Remember when McKayla Maroney nailed the most incredible vault ever? Even if you're an occasional Olympics watcher, you probably saw this. It was a highlight moment of one of the most watched sports in the Olympics. And it was only four years ago.

Maroney was put on the team purely because of this vault. She was capable of competing in other events but the team didn't need her to. They only needed her to do this. And that she did. It was incredible.


Let's not talk about what happened when she competed in the event final a few days later. It still makes me sad. #notimpressed

Shoutout to EA for sharing this BuzzFeed article chronicling how freaking awesome this vault was and everyone's amazement, including the judges.
