The 1 Reason Salma Hayek Is Ready to Tune In to the Olympics

Though they haven't met IRL yet (it happens with big extended families), Salma Hayek sent her cousin, Yvonne Treviño Hayek, all kinds of positive vibes as she gears up to compete in long jump at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Aug. 16.

The Mexican-born actress captioned a fierce photo of Yvonne, who is representing Mexico in the highly anticipated event, with a proud message of support in both Spanish and English. "I'm excited to see my cousin, Yvonne Treviño Hayek, (who I haven't had the pleasure to meet yet) to compete representing Mexico for the long jump at the Olympics next week. Viva Las Hayeks!!" she wrote, excited to watch her family member fight for a medal in Rio. In her own Instagram post announcing the date and time of her match, Yvonne thanked Salma for thinking of her. These two should meet ASAP, don't you think?
