they have the immaturity of their dance moves, because they are so young
just like ice skating, the young ones can make the jumps, but their presentation is not as dazzling (mature) as the older skaters
Whether the Chinese team had members younger than 16 is moot. The U.S. team can file an appeal if it has proof. But, what’s worse for the U.S.? Getting beat by 16-year-old Chinese or getting beat by 14-year-old Chinese? If the Chinese gymnasts were underage and had a couple more years to practice, I’m assuming the American team would have been beaten worse. The Chinese did routines with higher degrees of difficulty and the Americans choked at the wrong time.
