Does it seem convenient that according to the Chinese calendar, a lot of Chinese people end up being listed as a year or two off of what their real age is? That’s a little bit TOO convenient for my taste. O____o

Everyone is talking about Chinese woman being smaller then Americans. That fact is true, but look at the face. You can tell those Chinese girls are only girls. If you people would listen to the olympics and the news or research things before you speak this world would be a lot better. US Americans know how to lose but when the host country has to cheat to win it is a little funny. They found evidance that 5 of the 6 girls are underage so they might want to just come out, instead of looking like fools when they find everyting and strip all the gold medles of those girls. Shawn Johnson and the rest of the American team should have got gold because they did not cheat and yeah the underage girls maybe better but that does not matter, they broke the rules therefor should be striped of their medles.

c another thing that i think makes them guilty is the first time that we said that 2 of the girls might not be 16 the Chinese didnt show anything to convince us that they were 16… the first time that we asked all that they said was prove it.

If you google some photos og deng linlin, china’s smallest gymnast you will see from close up pictures of her face that she is NOT 16. As well as being short and light her facial features are those of a younger child.

To the person who wrote comment #12:

Russian gymnast Ksenia Semenova is eligible to compete because she is turning 16 before the end of this year. Any athlete who will be turning 16 before 2009 can compete. So she just has a late birthday.

Right. China breaks the rules, produces false documents to get away with it, lies to the entire world, breaks the spirit and honor that is supposed to be a part of the Olympics ..

.. and somehow this is a bad reflection on America. Brilliant.

Hahahha, you bunch of sour grapes americans. Can’t accept that your reigning champs were beaten by a bunch of KIDS. Get over it and accept that the world does not revolve around your country. This goes to show that your country sucks.

What i dont understand is that one of the russian gymnast, ksenia semenova is LISTED as being 15 by the olympics. So im alittle confused as to what the age limit applies too?
