In proving that the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, here are four things people who follow various gymnasts and coaches on Twitter now know:
1. That Daniel Keatings had a wasp in his boxers at practice recently. (That must have been distracting.) -- via @louissmith1989
2. That due to her Achilles injury requiring her to wear a boot, Alicia Sacramone's grandfather has taken to calling her "Boots." But when he says it, it sounds like "boobs." (Occupational hazard to being called "Boots" duly noted). -- via @ASac3
3. That in the American south, it's called dressing, not stuffing. (I've always wondered about that, haven't you?) -- via @jayclark8
4. That Aly Raisman's grandma wears Burberry sweatsuits. (Which is just kind of awesome.) -- via @Aly_Raisman
