Olympia is blessed with both entrepreneurial and sporting genes from both of her parents. Hence, her golf swing is something that has caught a lot of eye. However, Alexis Ohanian has had some reality check after seeing that swing- his daughter is better than him at golf. Carrying the genes of her mother, Serena Williams, Olympia has always had a knack for sports. However, Ohanian is desperate to credit his contribution to this talent of hers.

The left golf swing of Olympia is not just her parents’ favorite. After he uploaded a heartfelt tribute to his father on Father’s Day by uploading a video of Olympia playing golf, many people inquired about it.

In the Williams-Ohanian household, it goes without saying who carries the sporting genes and who does not. Ohanian is definitely the latter and so when Olympia performs well at a sport, he misses out on the credits given to her.

But this time, he found a loophole in the compliments that Olympia was getting for her clean golf swing. He uploaded an adorable video of Olympia making fun of Ohanian as she cleanly set the golf ball across the greens. However, people noticed how clean and smooth her left golf swing was.

One comment stated, “I wonder where she gets that eye hand coordination? Hmmm!” Ohanian gladly jumped onto the opportunity and stated, “surely my videogame skills.”

He hilariously completely disregarded that his wife is the one who has blessed Olympia with these skills. Seems like Ohanian is trying to soothe his ego after realizing he is the worst golf player in the family for now.
