This girl matched with an Olympic gold medalist on Tinder and pretty much ignored his messages

As Tinder matches go, a gold medal-winning Olympic swimmer in the making surely ranks pretty highly.

But for whatever reason, Joseph Schooling just wasn't doing it for @sabwow when he matched her on the dating app just a few months before Rio. This week 21-year-old Schooling made history for his native Singapore by beating hero Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly race, which means a gold medal will be going back to the island city-state for the first time ever. But for all his talent in the pool, Schooling's Tinder hit rate seems to be far from flawless. She obviously deemed him worthy of a right swipe, but their proceeding conversation barely got off the ground. https://twitter.com/sabwow/status/764269804173692929 The whole affair has been decidedly bittersweet for Sab. One the one hand, she's matched one of the biggest success stories of the Olympic games - her 'greatest accomplishment'. On the other, well, she gave him the cold shoulder, which is weird considering that in her message to the athlete - her only message to him - she used that hearts-for-eyes emoji which would lead most men to think they're onto a winner. Not so, and doesn't Sab regret it now. https://twitter.com/sabwow/status/764270274149625857 Could have been the greatest love story of a generation.
