The Reddit co-founder is the biggest fan of whatever his five-year-old daughter does. That’s why last year when Olympia hit the soccer field during one of the Angel City matches, Ohanian could not help but swoon over her footwork.

Reminiscing about the same moment, he shared the same clip on his Twitter with the caption, “READY SET.” The clip is from last year’s Angel City match where Olympia, and Alexis Ohanian went to see the match. And when you are at a soccer field, you can not miss the opportunity to hit the ball.

Consequently, Olympia took the charge and showed her astounding footwork, even dodging the ball with it. Leaving the fans baffled, this was only the beginning.

She then proceeded to take the ball ahead with her. And, while reaching the goalpost, the goalkeeper Alexis Ohanian was ready to defend her from scoring. However, Olympia scored a goal and Ohanian dived after the ball went into the net to give Olympia a moment of euphoria.

Serena Williams is not happy about Olympia choosing soccer over tennis

Olympia loved hitting across the tennis court with her legendary mother. However, nowadays her passion has shifted to soccer because of her father. Moreover, she is also the youngest investor in Angel City FC. In a conversation with the co-founder of Angel City, Natalie Portman, Williams got honest about the recent developments.

And though Williams loves Olympia playing whatever she wants, she also gets jealous. So, whenever she starts kicking a soccer ball, Williams hands her a tennis racquet.
