To be fair, the meme shows her ( Kim Yeji of South Korea) from a tense angle, unlike the one from her original viral pic

Also, afaik, they both won silver and she broke the Olympic record before her compatriot Oh Ye Jin broke THAT record to take the gold.

Basically, they're super cool in each their way, he's just older and prefers regular glasses over the actually pretty standard for the sport headgear she sports.

Bonus info: that cute plush elephant she has hanging from her belt? That belongs to her 5yo daughter back in South Korea.

I highly recommend this The Athletic piece about her.

One last bit of trivia: the author shares a name with a New Girl character and it's not Coach ๐Ÿ˜›
