My daughter is a pituatary dwarf and is the size and stature of a child about 3 to 4 years younger than herself. Her gymnastics teacher is having fits over her.
No point in blaming the babes, they have no choice.
China has long been guilty of stealing the innovations, the patents, the creations of others’.
No one should be surprised that they were incapable of hiding their low character.
Are people still wasting time arguing about the age issue?
We already know the age cannot be verified by looks alone. Personally, pratically all the gymnasts look under-nurished and much younger than a typical 16-year-old or whatever their stated age.
What is needed is a system that can correctly verify the age of all the gymnasts or get rid of the age requirement.
China has disgraced itself. This and the cheating judges in the women’s gymnastics Sunday, denying Alicia Sacramone her bronze medal. The gentlest thing I can say about it is China makes me puke.
They may be young but they have out preformed the US gymnastics team.
I asked a couple local Chinese that saw the Olympics what they thought about the girls’ ages. None of them thought the girls were 16.
