WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney who famously scowled when she placed second in the vault, made her "not impressed face" with President Barack Obama.

The U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams visited Obama in the White House Thursday.

During the visit, Obama and Maroney both paid tribute to the scowl she made when she won silver in the vault, an event in which she was heavily favored.

Afterward, Maroney tweeted: "Did I just do the Not Impressed face with the President..? // Yes."
