Must be the lighting and angle then because I could npt see it at first

Worth a double take for sure. I think it has more to do with the transition from young adulthood to being a grown woman, with access to one of the best athletic training programs in the world, and probably an image/style consultant with an eye towards parlaying the Olympics participation into a lucrative career.

Mods plz remove this post, it makes me feel insecure.

Well she should, there’s no real career in being an ex-Olympic athlete unless you win a big contract or get a line of kit with your name on it. Many medals end up for sale because the athlete needs money, or because they’ve passed away and the family can’t decide what to do with it. Having a “what do I do after being an athlete?” plan is pretty important.

Can she like chill, I'm trying to underachieve over here.

Bro, she makes it easier to underachieve! Like what if you accidentally get a degree or gold medal in the Olympics? Now you can look at her and still get a dose of some sweet sweet imposter syndrome.

Haha I guess that's true.
