China looses gold in gymnastics, does the USA get it?

Question

Ok so its confirmed that chinas women gymnast are underage. So if they loose there medal will the team gold go to the US? I mean, there DSQ. So that would mean the US is number 1. I would be so happy to see Ms. Johnson take home another gold.

Answer 1

Adaywith...

Actually the Chinese Reporters were the ones to first make reports about the under age gymnasts .

The point of the games is to follow the rules until they are changed . Perhaps the USA and other countries had younger competitors that didn't qualify under the rules . Many USA experts don't believe there should be a age requirement . But if it's there all have to honor it . It is in the spirit of the olypics to do so .

And young performers do have a slight advantage in that they are less fearful , and more supple , and often smaller and lighter ( a big advantage on the beam ).

Answer 2

whoever came second to the girl will get the medals.

Answer 3

NBC just gave the report of on of one o the gymnaist beomg 14, there will be an answer before the games are over.

Answer 4

Yes, if they are shown to have cheated and fudged the girls' ages, then they will loose all of their medals and everyone else will move up. That means the Americans will get team gold and Nastia will get gold on bars.

Answer 5

yessir IF they get their gold revoked it would go to the us because we got gold, so therefore, we would advance to gold if the chinese get their medals revoked. and i hope they do, they cheated and thats wrong no matter how you look at it...its wrong. what kindof example is that setting?

Answer 6

even if she loses he medal. she did beat everybody else still.

Answer 7

If that were to happen then yes.

Answer 8

No it's only confirmed that one of the gymnasts are. And I think the medal for her hasn't been taken away yet.

  I think U.S was really low as to target their age. They really needed to stop sucking on sour grapes.

   WHO THE HECK CARES IF THEY'RE FREAKIN' YOUNGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE GREAT GYMNASTS

Answer 9

of course

Answer 10

i dont know about the team metal being taken away but for the individual for sure it would, i dont think it may not be fair with the team metal be taken away because it may have been an isolated case where the girl worked alone, if everyone was in on it then the team metal should be taken away too

Answer 11

I thought the American girl won anyway... she was virtually flawless (and came second???????).

Oh, apparently all the information and official documents relating to her age have (earlier today) disappeared.

(she doesn't even look 14...more like 10 or 11).

Answer 12

Has it been confirmed??

But if indeed it is, then Yes, America will take the gold! And whoever was fourth will take the Bronze!

Answer 13

No, it would just be in "hold", but once a medal is giving is really hard to get it back, and again i dont think China is going to do anything since they are hosting it!

Answer 14

i believe that once it is official... than the individual medalist would move up in their rankings.. and the gymnasts found of being under aged would most likely not be elligible to compete in gymnastics olympics again.. now as far as the team medal goes.. im not sure what would happen! i think if they are found of being underaged..then the whole team should be stripped! and the medals go to the deserving winners! USA!!!

Answer 15

It is not confirmed yet.  If it is confirmed then the person who has silver will get the gold and so on.
