It is "kind of " true that Mckayla Maroney has had a nose job... Because of all that jumping around, throwing her legs in the air and cartwheeling across gym mats - Mckayla has smashed her nose up a few times and HAS had surgery to mend it.
However, the term "nose job" usually refers to purely cosmetic surgery whereas, although the doctors may have taken the opportunity to make Mckayla's nose even more aesthetically pleasing, the reason she was having the surgery in the first place was strictly because of injury.
Here are some other more interesting things to know about this gold-winning Olympic gymnast:
She's the world's No. 1 vaulter...
...but she prefers the floor, saying it gives her a chance to show off who she really is.
Injuries...
As well as broken toes, Mckayla has had a concussion while doing floor work and a nasal fracture.
Baby steps
Aged just two, Mckayla say Tarzan and started walking around on all fours. Her mum decided it was time to enrol her in a gymnastics group and the rest is history.
