The 2012 Summer Olympics in London served as a cultural landmark, producing some of the first truly global viral sports memes. Most famously, gymnast McKayla Maroney’s 'unimpressed' expression on the medal podium became a universal symbol for being underwhelmed, even reaching the White House. Alongside Usain Bolt’s legendary 'To Di World' pose and the Queen’s surprising cameo in the opening ceremony, the 2012 games represent a golden era of internet culture. These memes are frequently used today to express peak nostalgia for the early 2010s or to jokingly react to achievements that don't quite meet expectations.
