INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Add a fractured tibia to Olympic champion McKayla Maroney's injuries this summer.
McKayla Maroney fractured her left tibia Sunday when she fell on her uneven bars dismount during the second stop of a 40-city gymnastics tour. USA Gymnastics said Tuesday that her leg is in a brace, and she and her family are consulting with doctors on treatment. It's not certain when she'll return to the tour.
Aly Raisman, who bruised her knees in a separate fall off bars, is expected to return this weekend. The tour resumes Thursday in San Diego.
It's been a rough few months for Maroney. She missed the second day of the U.S. championships in June because of a concussion and a nasal fracture, and competed in London despite a break in her right big toe.
McKayla Maroney already has quite the sassy reputation. (Look no further than our new favorite Tumblr "McKayla Is Not Impressed" for proof.) Even though the Olympic gymnast famously pouted after earning the silver for her individual medal, she's definitely won the title of America's sweetheart.
The 16-year-old's impressive vault has spawned many appreciation posts around the internet, but now McKayla has hit yet another viral landmark: she's gone makeup-free. In a photo posted on her Instagram account, McKayla smiles (yes, she doesn't always frown) as she lounges in sweats and writes, "Sweat pants, hair tied, chillin with no make up on.. Relaxing day in the village!! #dayoff."
She's already received over 1,600 positive comments from her adoring fans, and we have to admit that we're definitely among her supporters. McKayla looks absolutely gorgeous and fresh without makeup, and we're always fans of teens (or anyone really) having the confidence to willingly go bare-faced. Would you post a photo of yourself without makeup?
