When you watch this, do you believe these Chinese girls competing at the Olympics are really 16?

I mean they had that kid lip synching in the opening, cause the real singer didn't project the pretty girl image they wanted to project, they faked some of the fireworks cause they knew they wouldn't look good in the smog, and then you see these girls, and you have an expert here making the comments above...do you not think they would cheat here too?

This leaves more than just a few eyebrows raised but no one is going to force their hand on this and right out call them liars but it's not the first time people did this type of thing either.

Answer 1

Chinese girls could be lying, but you can't always go on looks.  Because I know two girls whom look like 12 years old, but they are both around 18 an 19 years old.  And I look like I'm 14, but I'm almost 19.  Some people look really old for their age while some people look really young for their age.  For the little girl lip syncing that was sad, but really this is not unheard of.  Look at singer Cassie she is signed because she is pretty.  Can she sing? No.  Her singing voice sound like it is fix by a computer.  She is still signed.  There are great singers out there whom don't get notices, because they don't have the look.  I'm pretty sure everyone can name a singer whom got signed because of their looks.  Like the singer Natasha, she got signed by working at Subway.  I'm pretty sure she wasn't singing at her job.  Someone saw a pretty girl at Subway and signed her, because she is pretty and she is still sign.  This kind of stuff happen a lot.  I don't like that this happen, but it does.  It is the music business, since they rather signed someone whom look good rather than someone whom sound good, because they can always change their singing voice.  How many singers sound the same on their CD as they do live?  The music business is all about looks, it is sad, but very true.

Answer 3

Why do they have to be 16.? Britain have a diver in this olympics and he is only 14 so it must be legal

Answer 4

they are cheating everywhere.chinese  can never be trusted.i belive its a big fault olympics are being held there.

Answer 5

No, I don't believe they're 16, but then again why do they have to be that age when the limit doesn't apply to other events (such as diving, where 14-year-old Brit Tom Daley competed)? It doesn't seem fair at all.

Either have the same age limit for all events or none at all.

Answer 6

Now you have learned something about Communist strategy to deal with the west nations:

The false one might be true one;

the true one might be the false one;

truth may be mixed with lie;

while lie may contain truth;

one will never be able to identify true or false.

Answer 7

I noted that to my husband when we watched this little girl fall off the bars, finish her routine and make it to her coaches arms before bursting into tears. She is way to young for this much pressure.
