re: The cheating Chinese fricks

...I agree...most of them were 12 - 13 at the most...plus, they were whisked away from their families at around age 3 and have been "training" in full government sponsored no cost 24/7 gymnastics "schools" ever since, so , even if they are only 12 or 13, thats 10 yrs plus of 24/7 - 365 training.

The IOC Rule also stipulates the gymnast "must turn age 16 in the calendar year the Olympics are held"..So , maybe they all just turned 16 last month! Ha! Its a joke...I swear - one of those gals ( you know which one I mean ) couldn't possibly have been more than 10 -11...So friggin' obvious. But hey - they can fake the fireworks overheads camera shots, and fake the little girl singing, so they can fake the gymnasts age...All for thr glory of the Motherland! But - bottom line - our gals messed up in last round with falls and out-of-bounds, so what you gonna do?
