Summer Olympics 2012: Best Athlete Tweets, Twitpics and Instagrams from Day 5
Day 4 of the London 2012 Olympics belonged to the United States Women's Gymnastics team. They captured a gold medal in the team competition, and as you'll see from the Day 5 tweets, to the victor goes the spoils.
There are also a few Olympians taking in the sights of scenic London on their day off from competition. Lolo Jones puts a hater in their place and Chris Paul is chilling with royalty.
The Instagrams and Twitpic options were working overtime today. Check out the aforementioned tweets and the rest of the day in entertaining social media from Olympic athletes.
