U.S. figure skater Ashley Wagner has gone from beaming beauty to ice queen.
The 22-year-old Olympian had a huge smile after skating on Saturday — until the instant she saw her latest score.
A shocked scowl swept across Wagner's face, and she mouthed "bull s--t" to one of the teammates seating next to her in the 'kiss and cry' section.

Her sudden disgust was captured on camera and quickly became an Internet sensation.
The rapid-fire change from radiant to raging became the first meme of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, rivaled only by gymnast’s McKayla Maroney’s “not impressed” face from the 2012 Summer Olympics.
“To score that low was very disappointing for me,” a more diplomatic Wagner told reporters later. “But honestly, this was more about me and my performance and proving to everyone I belong here.”

The score stuck her in fourth place, but helped the U.S. team advance.
