McKayla Maroney Doesn’t Do Hugs, Does Do Public Apologies

McKayla Maroney is only a teenage girl, but she is a fierce competitor with a game face that could scare the crap out of a grown man. You can imagine the fighting spirit underneath that face took a big hit when she fell on her second attempt in the individual vault competition, winning only a silver medal.
So downtrodden was the icy-veined Maroney, she shunned Russian gold medalist Maria Paseka from a post-game hug like it was 1982 (h/t BuzzFeed):
But Maroney, ever the good sport, averted a second Cold War with some apologetic tweets.
For anyone who thought I didn’t want to hug Maria and Sandra that’s not the case(: They are my friends, and I’m proud of them both!

Sportsmanship is so important to me and I hope you know i would never do that intentionally!! Please forgive me!!

Maroney leaves London with a silver in vault, golds in team all-around and Twitter.
