[quote=dhen2x]and i hope there is no cheating... [/quote] Yeah, they have the most gold medals but the IOC just launched a formal investigation into the age of one of China's gymnasts. Allegedly, there is documents found by somebody on a Chinese internet search engine that shows the girl (with disputed age) is only 14, 2 years younger than the requirement. The site was taken down and the gymnast's info was also removed. Something smells a little fishy to me. --> And for the record, the girl (can't remember her name), if I had to guess at her age at first appearance...I would have guessed 12 or 13. No way she is 16. (my opinion) [quote=maritagueco]In fact ,the girl is not intended to face the world as a beauty contestant but to proudly sing their national anthem with her good singing voice[/quote] Also a good point, and very well said. I agree 100%. As I said before, I just hope the Chinese government, at least, paid the family a sizable compensation for this shameful matter.
