U.S. Olympic gymnastic gold medalist McKayla Maroney’s infamous frown has made it all the way to the White House.

According to Mashable, when Maroney met President Obama with her “Fierce Five” Olympic teammates on Thursday, she left the leader of the free world “unimpressed”.

Maroney tweeted there was more to come of her visit with the president, before the White House later tweeted a photo of the duo jokingly mirroring the facial expression that made Maroney the talk of the Summer Olympic Games.

Maroney’s unimpressed face went viral, leading to memes and tumblr images after the London Olympics.
