Chinese gymnist only 13

hey, if a 13 year old can beat out everyone give him/her the gold. but shame on the chinese for cheating, especially being the hosting country.

 

I was thinking the same thing, I would think that being younger would be a disadvantage due to less time in the sport. But apparently being younger and smaller in gymnastics allows you to perform better.

 

So the rule is there for a reason, and if you broke it, you deserve to get stripped of the medal

The chinese were by far superior, no one can deny that. However if a rule is there its there, and it should be followed. Whether or not it should be changed could come into question, though regardless, apply only to future Olympics.

 

I doubt anything comes of it. The IOC already said that they were not further investigating the issue and that passports provided showed the girls ages. Really they're just trying to avoid upsetting the host country. China is very likely going to go out of its way to battle the claims, and I'm sure the IOC will likely turn the other way.

Even if it's true, it's not suprising. They've "put on a face" since the beginning so as to only present their "best side" or "best example". They've been in trouble for cheating before and really, this goes further than just the olympic participants. They're hiding and faking quite a few things for this olympics.
