Answer 2

The 2nd place girls will get the gold....USA

The 3rd place girls will get the silver

The 4th place girls will get the bronze

Everybody just goes up one level.

Answer 3

USA gets gold, Romania gets silver....and Russia (I think) gets bronze.  

Answer 4

they won't get proven underage. the chinese government has given each team member a passport that says they're 16. its legally a valid document and the olympic team is not going to question it.

if they did then the medals would go to US, but this won't happen. and even though i consider it cheating, they still were better as a team so they should win.  

Answer 5

The next place under it gets the metals.

Answer 6

There will need to be a lengthy discussion to review the finer points of the implementation of the decision that was determined to be fair upon the communities decision--this will reflect strictly upon the predetermined rules as established for the competitors. Perhaps it was only a misunderstanding or a lack of communication.

Answer 7

USA

Answer 8

No one.

Answer 9

They probably wouldn't do anything.  This is not the first time that this has happened with the Chinese:

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, three years after the minimum age was raised to 16 in gymnastics, Chinese gymnast Yang Yun competed and won a bronze medal in the uneven bars (coincidentally this event is also He's specialty). Yang's passport said she was born on December 24, 1984 and turning 16 in the year of the Games, making her eligible. She later confessed in a television interview that she was only 14 at the time of the competition and that she and her coaches had lied about her age.

Answer 10

Nobody. The slot remains empty. It's done the same way in track and field. When those track athletes got stripped of their medals nobody got any new medals.  

Answer 11

probably USA...

Answer 12

Then everyone else gets bumped up a spot. But that won't happen- The Olympic committee wouldn't bother waste their time on something so small as they have a lot of work coming up in other events
