Atlanta native Gabby Thomas won her second gold medal of the Paris Olympics in the women’s 4×100-meter relay.

After losing some ground from a shaky baton handoff, the American women pulled through, helped by an end blitz from anchor leg Sha’Carri Richardson.

Richardson, turning her head to scope the competition, found herself so far ahead she was alone. That look — one that said, “Fine, I’m leaving without you” or “Is that all you’ve got?” — was quickly minted as a meme on social media.
