Itโs not surprising that Olympia Ohanian, Serena Williamsโs daughter, knows her way around a tennis court, but what you might not know is that she spends even more time on a golf course with her dad, and she might just be golfingโs next big thing.
Suggested Reading
In a recent podcast, Olympiaโs dad, Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit, spoke about all the time he and his daughter spend on the golf course and how great Olympia is at the sport. While Ohanian admits that he is terrible at the game and spends more time waiting for his daughter than playing, Olympia, 7, takes after her mom in her athleticism, and the young athleteโs skill will surprise you.
Olympiaโs powerful swing, confident stance, and impeccable form shown in a reecent video, which garnered over 900,000 views, made it clear sheโs not new to golf, but true to it. Fans were shook, leaving comments all over her Instagram.
โWow!! She swings with POWER just like her mum,โ one user commented.
โShe has the stance of a professional athlete,โ wrote another.
โUh ohhhh,โ commented another user, noting Olympiaโs intimidating ability.
Last year, Ohanian shared with PEOPLE that he and Serena Williams enjoy watching their daughter explore all the things she interested in. For example, she loved mini golf about two years ago and has since enjoyed taking proper golfing lessons.
In another video post, the future golf star casually says โbye ball,โ as she watches the ball fly away because ... again, this ainโt nothing new.
โThat SWING is mean lil one,โ wrote one user.
โIK das right!! Black Girl power,โ said another.
โWe are not surprised,โ wrote one fan, implying that Olympiaโs skill is natural.
A recent post of Olympia holding a flagstick could potentially foreshadow an exciting and award-winning athletic career. But her proud father said he and his famous wife believe their daughter is a mix of creative and athletic but truly they want her to just have fun.
