Question

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/chn/Yilin+Yang/235316

Whats up w/ that. She won bronze medal on women's uneven bars

Answer 1

A lovely girl---Yilin Yang. From the resume, she is 15 yrs old but it is approved by IOC. It is unfair that she won bronze medal , because her performance is the best of all players on women's uneven bars.  The judge destroied the race in order to balance the countries.

Answer 2

Ksenia Semenova of Russia is also 15 years old.  You need to turn 16 by 2008.

Answer 3

If she turns 16 before the end of this year then she is ok....unfortunately

Answer 4

uhh she kicked USA's butt

deal with it hahaha

Answer 5

You must be 16 to compete and yet the entire Chinese Gymnastics team looks like they are 10. As long as they have forged birth certificates they can compete. Although during the Men's Sycronized Diving they announced a boy as only 14. I really don't understand it.

Answer 6

Yep there cheaters and dont deserve.Any medals.heres some evidence. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-flum...

Answer 7

I think the rumors of the Chinese gymnasts being under-aged is an excuse for the U.S. Olympic team. The U.S. needs to face the fact that one of our girls fell twice,  and that is the reason we lost the women's team gold, not the cheating scandal. Gymnasts naturally have a shorter body structure. Shawn Johnson is cute as a button and she looks like she is 10 years old. Shawn lost her gold to a Romanian girl not a Chinese girl. Did the Romanians cheat too? We need to get over our excuses and work harder for 2012 with some class and good sportsmanship.    

Answer 8

You need to be 16 or turn 16 in this calendar year to qualify

Answer 9

That Chinese team cheated in the Olympics. China has become image obsessed and it feels it has to prove something to the world. Not chinese people in general, people running the olympics.

Answer 10

As long as they turn 16 in 08 they're fine.

Too bad she's 12.
