I’m sick of it too. It’s not that interesting to begin with, IMO, and they’ve harped on it too much. Put in in the afternoon hours, not in primetime.

I’m sick of Chinese underage atheltes winning medals for mediocre routines that the commentators and Bela Karolyi said were not the greatest too, but that’s another story....

No kidding.

I finally saw the re-airing of the female gymnastics competition, and the gold-medal winner from China was a little kid.

She was competing with young ladies aged 15-16 years old, and her competition didn't have a prayer. In fact, you can see the frustration and anxiety in the eyes of the teens as they see this enthusiastic and flexible CHILD prancing around on the gym mats.

The Chinese and their cheating techniques are disgusting.
