Happy 18th Birthday, McKayla Maroney


Happy Birthday to Team USA's McKayla Maroney who turns 18 today! 

Maroney has accomplished incredible success in her first 18 years including two World Vault titles and two Olympic medals. Coupled with her famous "not impressed" meme, Maroney is likely the most recognizable gymnast in the world today. 

Maroney made an impressive return to competition in 2013, quickly rebounding from her post-Olympic surgeries. She competed all around at the 2013 World Championships which marked her first time to compete four events since the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. Even with a fall on beam, the star gymnast finished 6th all around in World preliminary competition. She now has her sights set on the 2014 World all around finals and ultimately the 2016 Olympic Games.

In honor of Maroney's 18th, let's all take a look back at her vault perfection during 2013 World podium training:
