Olympic high jumper Hamish Kerr diving under the bar is the last great meme of the 2024 Paris Olympics

Hamish Kerr Olympics (Event) Olympics

We’ve seen some gold-medal winning memes from the 2024 Paris Olympics, from LeBron James as George Washington to Raygun the Australian breaker to startled Simone Biles.

And now, as we say goodbye to the Summer Olympics in France, there’s one more meme to round up: New Zealand high jumper Hamish Kerr decided to dive UNDER the bar before he’d win a gold medal in the event.

The memes are perfect, and it’s doubly good because maybe Kerr can have a laugh about it while wearing his gold medal.

So here’s a roundup of some of the memes we saw come out of this one:
