Girls in the chinese gymnastics game???

Question

does anyone else think that some girls on the chinese team are at least 3 yrs underage????? they are good but i think they are way to young what do you think?

Answer 1

yes they are definitely underage. they shouldn't be able to compete if they are under age..but what can ya do!  

Answer 2

Me and my dad were talking about this to.The Chinese are so desporate to win,that they cheat and forge documents to let the younger ones in.They do look like they are 9 or 10.lol

Answer 3

yes, they are. they have paperwork but it really isn't fair.

Answer 4

One of them caused all the controversy is that they don't look like they are 16. I bet they arent but then why would they put younger kids in?

Answer 5

whocares, if they're younger and beating people older isn't that a feat in itself?

if 3 years younger that means 3 years less of training and experience

yea it's angist the rules, but how do you know they're really 12

you don't, so be cool

chinese people look young, a guy from work is 36 he looks like he's no more then 21

Answer 6

OMFG, how is it "unfair" , the Olympics is based on skills and the Chinese won it fair and square, some Gymnasts do look younger than their age, shawn johnson is only 4' 9, and Chinese girls tend to develop slower. China is better than the USA and you just need to get over it. YEAH RIGHT!!!HA HA HA HA!!! "you are NOT jealous" HA HA!! You are sooooo jealous right now or you wouldn't even be asking the question right now!!!!! BTW, the USA actually have an advantage over China, they are older so they must have trained more years, and China less, so its not their fault they sucked that day, they still won gold and silver at the individuals.  

Answer 7

You weren't the only one seeing this, they were also getting higher points for their lesser scoring programs.Even the commentators were saying this.I really believe there is someting fishy going on with the scoring, how ironic that the Chinese are winning at sports they have never gotten a gold at and now they are in China ...it's not that we are jealous it's just that it seems pretty fishy to me!

Answer 8

They have documented proof that at least 2 or 3 of them are under 16, around 14-15. It really sucks but there's nothing that can be done about it. Hopefully the IOC will look into this and prevent it from happening in future Olympic Games.

Answer 9

Why do you Americans stand the fact that you can't lost one gold metal?

Stop complaining, American's had cheated also in previous games...

Answer 10

some of them are under 16 they forged papers

Answer 11

YUP!

China looks like they have been cheating...

That small girl...she looks like she is about 12 years of age...not fair!

Answer 12

yes they look like babies.

Answer 13

That mikedraz is silly, It doesn't matter if they beat older people. Rules are made for a reason, and you must follow them, to make it fair. The age requirement to protect injury to not fully developed bodies.

And to the other guy who said USA has cheated before, since when 2 wrongs make a right?

I hope they do something about it, regardless rules are rules.

Answer 14

Asians naturallly look younger than their age but it's not a good idea sending kids younger than the age limit because they could get seriously hurt and their bones are not very strong yet

Answer 15

I agree, they are underage.  The outrage I feel is that the State is cheating and has the arrogance to think nobody can figure this out.

Answer 16

Yes, they are young, but at least they are doing something that many people have not done.
