I can't think of a bigger recent fraud in sports than the Chinese female gymnasts who claim to be 16 years old! In case you didn't watch any of the women's gymnastics competition, China has three or more gymnasts who can't be any older than 12. It's obvious to the naked eye. Olympics rules require gymnasts be 16 years of age. China won the gold to the American's silver.

 

Even the Chinese gymnast who claims to be 20 looks more like she's 16. It's so obvious that the government-run news agency reported months ago that one of the female gymnasts was 13! But since all of the girls have "government" issued passports that say 16, there isn't much the International Olympics Committee can do.

 

What's sad is the Chinese team deserved to win the gold. They flat out beat the US women. But they clearly got the gold by cheating...Your thoughts?

It is sad that they had to go and cheat the first time the Olympics is held in China. The significance of it will be over shadowed by this controversy. The Chinese gymnasts are good I will give they that barring for the moment my own dislike for them. You said 12 I swear one of them is not older than 9 maybe 10.

Yeah, they do look young. Their bodies would be so underdeveloped for 16yr olds. They did really and deserved to win their gold medals.

My buddy from the Philippines commented to me once how people look so old here. LOL ..

I think looking at their build they do appear to be around 12 or 13 when compared to Americans.

If they were older it would be worse. Like having 20 year olds playing in an under 16 event. The fact that 10 year old girls can kick the butt of older girls is a bigger insult.

And whats with the US being the only country to list medal leaders as TOTAL medals, which shows the US leading. Every single other country lists it by GOLD medals only, which China is kicking the US's butt.
