Eliza McCartney just became a Rio Olympics teen dream as a 19-year-old bronze medalist — as New Zealand’s hottest track and field champion kept up her momentum as the current outdoor world junior record holder of a few titles. She seemed perfectly comfortable with winning the bronze, too — so she’s the kind of champion who doesn’t produce memes like the lovely McKayla Maroney . [photo: Laurence Griffiths/Getty]
Of course, Eliza made our list of the Hottest Pole Vaulters of the 2016 Olympics. Strangely enough, we couldn’t think of a single pun to make about this very important event. We can, however, think of several good reasons to hope that Eliza tries to go for some American fame in the wake of her big win. New Zealand accents are awfully stunning, and we bet she can hop around bad guys better than awesome Aussie Margot Robbie. See for yourself…
