Williams captioned the shot, “turn, back, reach, head, follow through.”
The post was flooded with comments from Williams’ supporters mentioning how her little one is destined for greatness. Billie Jean King wrote, “Look out, world! Keep going for it!”
The official Australian Open account added, “AO 2017 champions back at it again,” referencing when Williams won the tournament that year while pregnant.
Serena’s victory over her sister, Venus Williams, at the Australian Open in 2017 gave her a 23rd grand slam singles title — one shy of tying Margaret Court’s all-time record.
The tennis star often shares snaps of fun moments with her daughter, Olympia. The young girl appears to love tennis as much as her mother.
During a recent interview with “Good Morning America,” she said that Olympia is “always so happy.”
“You can learn this from kids, it’s like they don’t have a care,” she said. “Sometimes we put too much emphasis on things and on stuff that we really just have to rely on us and just being happy.”

(WASHINGTON) — Olympic gold medalist Klete Keller was charged for his alleged involvement in the attack on the Capitol last week.
The swimmer was charged with obstructing law enforcement engaged in official duties, unlawfully entering Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
It was first speculated that Keller was involved in the riot when people began identifying a man who looked like him in a video taken by Townhall reporter Julio Rosas. The video shows a tall man seemingly wearing a U.S. Olympic Team jacket, and former teammates and coaches identified him as Keller, SwimSwam and The New York Times reported.
In the video, which was cited in the complaint against Keller, Capitol Police tussle with rioters in the Rotunda, and Keller was pushed back with the crowd by police shields.
The complaint, referencing the Townhall video, notes that “Colorado state records and publicly available information list [Keller’s] height at 6 feet, 6 inches tall, and [the person in the video] appears to be one of the tallest individuals in the video depicting individuals in the Rotunda.”
Keller had been employed by Colorado real estate firm Hoff & Leigh, but, the firm said in a statement, he resigned this Tuesday.
“Effective immediately, Klete Keller is no longer with Hoff & Leigh. Keller, an independent contractor, resigned from the company today,” the company said. “Hoff & Leigh supports the right of free speech and lawful protest but we cannot condone actions that violate the rule of law. We pride ourselves on our deeply held core values of family, loyalty, community and stewardship. We continue to stand by these values.”
In response to the reports of Keller’s participation in the siege, USA Swimming said in a statement, “We respect private individuals’ and groups’ rights to peacefully protest but in no way condone the actions taken by those at the Capitol last week.”
Before the charge was made against Keller, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee CEO Sarah Hirshland sent a letter to Team USA athletes condemning the “rioters” at the Capitol.
“At home, and around the world, Team USA athletes are held to a very high standard as they represent our country on the field of play and off,” Hirshland wrote. “What happened in Washington, D.C., was a case where that standard was clearly not met. The people involved attacked the very fabric of the democracy we all proudly represent and, in turn, also let our community down. I urge everyone associated with Team USA to continue to celebrate our diversity of background and beliefs, stand together against hatred and divisiveness, and use our influence to create positive change in our community.”
Keller, 38, won medals at the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olympics. He was on the U.S. relay team along with Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Peter Vanderkaay.

(NEW YORK) — University of Alabama quarterback Mac Jones led the undefeated Crimson Tide to a national championship with a victory over Ohio State on Monday night after an unprecedented college football season.
Jones joined ABC News’ Good Morning America on Tuesday morning, just hours after hoisting up the College Football Playoff National Championship trophy in Miami and said “it definitely feels great.”
The 22-year-old junior from Jacksonville, Florida, in his first year as the team’s starter, was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, threw for over 4,000 yards and won the Davey O’Brien Award given to the nation’s top quarterback.
“We didn’t even know if we were going to have a full season or if we were going to start and then stop, so I just give my hat’s off to the administration and NCAA and SEC for allowing to us play a full season,” he said. “It feels great to be where we are — this is right where we wanted to be — it’s something that we’re all grateful for.”
Jones’ perseverance and drive continued to shine on the field, as he threw for over 400 yards and five touchdown passes in their 52-24 win over the No. 3-ranked Buckeyes, handing them their only loss of the season.
“I just think with anything — regardless of the sport or what you want to do — a lot of people tell you ‘no.’ But if you love something, you can’t listen to the haters as people call them, and do what you do,” Jones said.
After smashing records in the first half of the game, Jones’ teammate and Heisman trophy-winning receiver, DeVonta Smith, suffered a hand injury at the start of the second half. Jones said the words of wisdom from the team’s veteran head coach, Nick Saban, were key to getting them to keep their composure and finish strong.
“Coach Saban’s message — he told us to just stay even-keeled and try not to get too up or too down in the game,” Jones recalled. “Injuries happen — and we had guys out there playing that were young guys, we had guys that were hurt, so just to be out there and try and finish through for our team was just something that Coach Saban has kind of instilled in us.”
Alabama’s win also marked a historic milestone for Saban, who notched his seventh career national championship, moving him past fellow Alabama legend Paul “Bear” Bryant for the most titles in college football history.
Jones, who has one year left of NCAA eligibility, said he has not yet made any decision on if he will play another season at Alabama or opt to enter the NFL draft.
“Honestly, not really,” he said. “I feel like I’ve put myself in a good position to do either one. Obviously I love coach Saban and Alabama, but at the same time there’s a great opportunity in the NFL but I just have to — kind of weigh the pros and cons and look at them and see what’s best for me and my family.”
