did you watch the competition?
did you see Shawn Johnson standing next the Chinese?
No comparison.
Shawn still looks like she is 13-14 to me.
Yes, and I’ve stood next to my share of Chinese women, too... Being 4 feet 6 inches, and 70 pounds and look about 15% years younger (3 years younger at age 20, 4 years younger at 30, etc) than they really are.
I’m 6 feet tall - slightly above average in the US. In most places in China I tower over everyone. Few and far between can come close to looking me in the eyes, and none really match my girth (size 64 jacket, size 46 slacks).
Pretty much most of Asia has women - and men - a lot smaller than we think, and fully developed leaves them looking a lot younger...
Are they too young? They may be! But simple looks and comparisons side-by-side are not good indicators, especially when considering the genetic differences between races.
