How did China cheat at the Olympics?

Question

I don't understand why everyone keep saying China cheated?

even though "ONE" of the girls out of the group was one year too young, why does this considered cheating?

i always thought cheating was creating an "UNFAIR" advantage?

is cheating really the word for this, if the other contestants were 80 years old and these girls were 16 i would consider that an advantage? but how is someone younger be consider cheating???

Answer 1

cheating is when you break the rules....and thats what china did

Answer 2

Who cares? The Olympics is over,just drop it.

Answer 3

they didnt cheat in my opinion

Answer 4

they might have cheated, or they might not have cheated. We dont have proof that they cheated or not cheated. Everyone makes all these false accusations about china cheating. If we were so sure that they cheated, the IOC wouldve taken away their medals away.  

Answer 5

Trust me every country cheats a little when the olympic games are in their home country...why do you think that the country that is hosting the Olympics almost always has more medals than usual...now i dont know in which sport type this girl was in but the rules are the rules...now no 20 year old would be alloud to compeat in a running competition for people that are over 60.

Answer 6

Well I read on the olympic new that being younger is an advantage b/c of the way that the younger bodies are made up...let me find the source and you can read it. You know really after 21 the skeptics think that women are really too old for gymnastics...

Answer 7

If people were going to say that china cheated, they should only say the womens gymnastic team. they shouldnt say "china" in general

Answer 8

AMericans cheated with their "special" swim suits which gives US swimmer an advantage over those who don't.

Answer 9
