  1. Actually ( this is wack! ), some portion of the Chinese ( about 1/4 ) say that she is under age, but if she is, the other parts want her to stay in the olympic team ( all the other girls were confirmed over 16 yrs. ).


  2. I think its not right to say China is cheating unless you have evidence. I'm from Taiwan and I don't like China but it doesn't mean I have to always say  something bad about China. Btw, don't you all guys know that Asian always look much younger than you thought? I'm 32 years old and most, I say "most" of the American people think that I'm around 20-25. My other Asian friends also looks so much younger than what other people in state think. I thought you guys always think that Asian are short and skinny and now you all change the stereotype of Asian and say that Asian shouldn't be that skinny and short. hahahaha thats really funny. how stupid and pathetic the people is.

  3. One Chinese girl is actually 20 years old. now one thing you may not know is that in chinese culture a child is 1 year old the day they are born. so in actuality all chinese people are 1 year younger than their "age". some of the chinese girls did look 11 but keep in mind they're chinese! chinese people are naturally tiny. And it's quite possible that their girls haven't or will never go through puberty and don't menstruate because of their excessive muscles, so they'll probably never develop fully. As far as taking away their gold medal, that's pretty impossible

  4. Saw them in half & count the rings! ~:)>

  5. the only way is to cut them open and count the rings.

    and no one is going to do that to a little girl.


  6. These girls definitely are under the age limit to compete.  The Chinese government has a rule that everyone has to be "essential" to the success of the country. Children are sent away to "sports factories" by their parents in order to learn diving, swimming, gymnastics, tennis and other sports. If not, they are sent to military schools to join the Red People's Army.

    At the "sports factories", they live the sport they are "forced" to excel at and nothing else matters until they are released back to their parents, which is only when they "retire" from that sport to become a baby breeding machine after marriage.

    Americans, on the other hand, have lives, can freely go to the mall or visit their friends, can say bad things about the government without fear of reprisals, do not get punished if they make mistakes while performing, don't eat dogs, can grow up doing whatever they want to do, visit the gym whenever they want, can leave the gym to go home to their parents, do not get kidnapped and brought to "reprogramming" centers, are more creative in gymnastics and don't need to cheat by having a communist country's government strong arm the judges by intentionally having them delay results while other athletes are awaiting their start time and falsifying birth documents

  7. Yes you could, but they would need to submit to medical testing. There are some pelvic measurements that are often done to determine the age of women discovered by archeologists.

    Their government won't allow it, and the IOC is turning a blind eye intentionally.  

  8. How can you prove age? That is the problem. They set rules they can't control. They should abolish the age rule.

    They can have the gold. It doesn't matter. What matters is that if they cheated.
