  1. Yes, I have to agree with the treehugger on this one (even though I can't stand those tree-hugging liberals).  Little kids have too much advantage in such a sport.  We can't be expected to compete against 12 year olds.  They're too flexible.  The USA should have won because our gymnasts are the best in the world and they proved that out on the floor.

    Go USA!!!


  2. If you listen. Kids have more advantages then others because their bodies are more flexible. that's the reason the age rule is in place. kids can bend easier. it's not fair....so no, it's not worse.

  3. maybe kids are more flexible, but they are also less strong, less experienced and less focused than older people

  4. Listen if the Chinese are using underage kids, I would not put it past them to have the judging rigged.

  5. IF YOU CAN LOSE TO A 12 YEAR OLD LIL GIRL AND UR 16 THEN YOU SUCK. END OF THE FREAKIN ARGUMENT!!!

  6. Whats not fair is the USA women's softball being allowed to have a guy in the lineup.  Don't believe me lookup crystl bustos.

  7. It wasn't just kids they lost to. It was a bunch of corrupt officials too. Let's not forget that, people.

  8. Even if China did get disqualified USA still didn't win its a bit like the guy that got disqualified in the 200 metre sprint he still came second but the rules said he didn't but it doesn't mean he wasn't the second fastest in the race.

  9. You are so right Treehugger. Its because China has such a big advantage and thats why we won gold and silver in singles competition, gold in parallel bars, and gold and silver in balance beam. Idiot. There are so many events in gymnastics that there are just as many events that requires strength then finess.

  10. It is true when you are young your body is not fully matured and therefore children may possibly have an advantage at gymnastic stuff. I have taken ballet many years and know first hand the reasons why you have to be a certain age to do certain things. You CAN NOT put a child on point, their ankles aren't developed. So I do believe that there is some truth to the fact that children  have abilities when they are younger that adults do not have.

  11. No it does not.  If USA was cheaters like China, we would use underage kids who are better at gymnastics because they are smaller and more flexible.  Plain and simple, China cheated and they should have their medals taken away for breaking the rules, just like any other athlete in any country.
