wearing her team USA tracks, is waiting to accept an Olympic medal.

A flicker of a polite smile crosses Michaela's lips for just an instant and then fades.
And then it happens.

For just a second in front of thousands of spectators and millions of TV viewers around the world,
Makayla's mouth grimaces, contorting sharply to the left.
It's a look that's somewhere between annoyance and downright contempt.
