Chinese woman's gymnastics?

Question

I was wondering could the Chinese woman's gymnastics be stripped of there medals if found to be underage? I mean they are not 16, i just think it is not right for these girls to be competing.

Answer 1

Yes they can, and yes, they probably will. Poor girls are gonna have to suffer because of their stupid country/olympic committee.

Answer 2

Does it really matter? China did it before. Now that China has has some medals, the media decides to bring it up? If U.S killed China in the gymnastics, and the media didn't bring it up, would you have still ask this question? Don't believe everything you see on television. GET A LIFE.

He Kexin is talking about Nestia Liukin.

Target: Nastia Liukin

While many gymnasts are reluctant to name their rivals, He says she's out to beat American Nastia Liukin on uneven bars. She's even said that she increased the difficulty in her routine after learning of Liukin's 7.7 difficulty score.

He Kexin says, "My target is to beat her at the Olympics," He said to the China Daily. "She is definitely the most dangerous gymnast in the world, but I am confident I can keep her away from the gold medal as long as I can perform at my highest level."

And what do you know? Kexin did beat her in the uneven bars.

I'm not Chinese, I'm actually Latin American.

Answer 3

The Chinese gymnasts have been the highlight of the Games. Just thinking about how these kids can possibly be considered 16 always brings a smile to my face. Did you see the winner of the Bars final? It looked as if she was missing her teddy bear.

Answer 4

God where is your Olympic spirit! Just be happy for the Chinese who have spent hours upon strenuous of hours training for these games like everybody else... if they were underage (which they're not) it would make their achievements all the more breathtaking! China as the host nation, who have ploughed billions into making these games the great success they've been so far, deserve more credit than you're giving them.

This sort of bad sportsmanship really pisses me off!

There would have been extensive checks into each of the gymnasts taking part before they were entered-- do you honestly thing they would be so stupid as to break such a fundamental rule?! GET A GRIP

There are OTHER NATIONS besides America competing in the games-- 204 to be exact!

Every nation will be rooting for their athletes just like you.

p.s. i'm English, spare a little thought for us who haven't won a single medal in the woman's gymnastics

Answer 5

Sure, they should be stripped of medals if they are found to be underage.  However, if they are NOT, then we would stripped you the right to false accuse people.  Should you jump off a building?

Answer 6

It would never happen, because you can't definitely prove the age of a person through any type of scientific testing

Answer 7

Yes, the women's gymnastics team would be stripped of all their medals (including the team gold) if it was found that indeed some or all of their gymnasts were underage.

Answer 8

No one has PROOF or EVIDENCE that the girls are underage. the INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITEE, not just China, accepted their passports that verified that they are of age. Yea, some of them do look younger than 16, but hey, Andy Millinakis (spelling) is really 30+ years old.

yes, the team can get stripped of their medals, but there has not been hard core evidence that they are underage.

oh, but if Bela Karoyli says, they are, they MUST BE!!!!

ps. If they were underage, then the USA team needs to work a lot harder to win if they beat by a team that is younger than them

Answer 9

jesus christ this question has been answered so many times

Answer 10

They are so cheating.  You're right, they should be stripped of their medals.  Half their team is like 12 or 13 yr olds.  For us to have to compete against 12 year olds is not fair.  The IOC cannot let this stand.  Little kids have an advantage in gymnastics.  The goal of the Olympics is to find the best athletes 16 and over, not the best overall athletes.

Answer 11

yes,  and  to me they do not look like no 16 yrs olds!!! they look like there 15! and some look like there13!!!!!!
