Huggies wow; I'm a gymnast now! I am watching the Olympics right now and couldn't be more upset watching a sporting event. I am not mad that the country I am routing for (United States) is falling apart, not mad because the only event they are showing is gymnastics, but furious because several of the gymnasts are clearly under the 16 year old age requirement. Bella Caroli himself made a comment during the broadcast that the Chinese gymnasts were under 16 but since they had "legitimate" passports, they are allowed to compete. Aren't the Olympics supposed to be the purist form of sports? Will cheating in sports ever end?

Obviously I have absolutely no evidence or proof that any of the gymnasts in the olympics are under the age of 16. But if you are fortunate to have a set of eyes and common sense you can clearly see that the women...sorry little girls that are putting on an amazing show are barely toilet trained. Ok that may be a little harsh but look at them! Many of the Chinese girls do not come up to the shoulders of any other countries athletes. I think I saw someone on the balance beam who didn't have teeth yet. Are they midgets? Is there a national problem in China with women who have stunted growth?

These girls are unbelievable, but still little girls who have no life outside of gymnastics. They are sent by their parents as young as 3 off to train for the Olympics. Sometimes they are even able to see their parents once every other year.

I’ve worked with Chinese women who I know were 30-40 years old who looked like they were twelve. Probably barking up the wrong tree with this one. The American team made fatal mistakes in competition and that’s the real story.

I noticed one of the Chinese gymnasts must have had a padded bra because after her uneven bar routine on the qualifying night, one boob was up and one was down.

Tonight I noticed that the little baby on the team forgot not to smile big and she indeed is missing the same molar tooth my 11-year-old son is missing. She can’t be more than 12 or 13.

Do you actually believe that the Chinese government would be part of such a fraud? What are you going to say next? That they faked the fireworks display at the opening ceremonies? Or that they used another child to lip-sync their national anthem in front of the whole world?
Stop the China bashing!

Ok, let's take a test.

How old is this Chinese girl.

Take your guess and post.

I lived in Taipei for 4 years. These remarkable cherubs are not 16. I have been teaching high school for 17 years, and we have always quite a few girls from Asia here. These Olympic urchins are not 16.

I've sat on the concrete floor of my daughter's orphanage in China, surrounded by 20 other precious little girls. This barbaric government has quite a stable of God's precious little girls, numbering in the millions, all across China, sitting in orphanages, waiting for adoption, or waiting for the Commissar of Tumbling, along with his entourage of scientists, to come measuring them to see who among them meets the specifications of Heavenly Body Shape for Mao's Trapeze Flyers.

“Aren’t the Olympics supposed to be the purist form of sports?”

Get a grip. Do you really believe that? Is has nothing to do with the “purity of sports”.

No, this Olympics is simply a coming out party for the chi-coms to show the world that china is a great world power and culture and place.
Course the chi-coms don’t want you to see the underbelly of their corrupt system.

> Aren’t the Olympics supposed to be the purist form of sports?

No. The Olympics has nothing to do with Sports. The Olympics is supposed to be a showcase for the host country, a 24x7 infomercial for the sponsors, and an opportunity for steroid-enhanced monsters to compete against real Athletes and earn megabucks in sponsorships for “winning”.

> Will cheating in sports ever end?

There is no cheating in Sports. But there is plenty of cheating in the Olympics.

And these are the ChiCom Olympics — we all knew that the ChiComs are as crooked as a tub-of-guts, so why is anyone surprised that they are proving to be superb cheats?

Indeed, I would be bitterly disappointed in the ChiComs DIDN’T cheat better than anyone else.

That is why they are ChiComs. And they are doing what they do best.

While watching the games last night I was constantly echoing the same thing, “there’s NO WAY most of those girls are even close to 16”.

I won’t deny that the Americans, specifically Alicia Sacrmone, didn’t screw up big time, but there was a definate bias in the judging towards China. Americans were hit harder for thier mistakes while China’s were either overlooked or lightly penalized for thiers.

BTW, was it me or did those Chinese girls (most) just totally lack in grace and fluidity in thier routines.

Is the author in shipping/receiving or just a lousy speller?

These girls looked like little alien creatures to me. Anybody can buy a fake passport. Theirs were surely given to them (with the required modifications). Congratulations China. At least you didn't invade a sovereign nation during the games.

I’m sure watching the Chinese gymnastics team is quite stimulating, for pedophiles.

The Chinese gymnastics coach spoke the truth when he mentioned how skilled his girls were despite being so young.

He seemed to be acknowledging his breaking the rules.

Given the phony displays during the opening ceremonies it’s become clear that what we see in China is far from reality.

Those Chinese girls looked about ten. No way the chicoms weren’t cheating.

Bet that one girl does not have her third molars yet (They usually erupt at age 12.)

I'm not really paying that much attention to the Olympics this year. I lost interest way back when they started the gymnastic event - dancing around the mat with a ribbon. However, the above remarks caught my eye. Is the author that niave? The Olympics - for decades - have always been about politics and cheating. The 1936 Berlin Olympics was nothing but a power show for the Nazis. And then you have the Russians and East Germans during the 60's and 70's. Does anyone remember the scorring cards - U.S. - 8.5, Great Britan - 8, Italy - 8.5, East Germany - 4. Does anyone remember the Soviets cheating us on the court in the 72 Olympics? The raised fist by the black athletes in Mexico in 68? Munich?
