Most of the world's eyes were on snowboarder Chloe Kim on Tuesday when she snagged gold in women's halfpipe. Some were looking at the sidelines, however, where Kim's proud father toted an adorable handmade sign.

It read, simply: "Go Chloe!" A hand-drawn heart provided embellishment.

The internet loved it, especially the fact that Kim's dad, Jong Jin Kim, laminated his homespun creation.

"Ultimate dad sign move," tweeted @pquaife.

The Olympic Games are somewhat of a homecoming for Kim's father, who emigrated from South Korea in 1982 and eventually settled in Torrance, Calif. According to the New York Times, Mr. Kim enrolled in college, "studying engineering by day and operating machinery at night."

After watching his 17-year-old daughter garner a near-perfect score on her Monday run, Mr. Kim reportedly "pointed to himself, said 'American dream!' and whooped."
