Too bad, doesn't seem fair. No way are those little things 16. I think the average weight of the Chinese gymnasts is 71 lb!! while the US comes in at 107 lbs!!!

Its against the rules of the games and it isn't exactly great to be vaulting through the air when your epiphyseal plates haven't fused. The older athletes have enough major injuries. For a younger athlete, this could cripple them for a lifetime.

they're just pieces of meat in the Chinese machine.

 

taken from their parents at age 3. "retired" at 17.

But it's all for the glory of the motherland! Surely sacrifices must be made.

 

At least these kids get their mugs on TV, unlike the opening ceremonies singer. :rolleyes:

Does it matter how old they are?

 

The rule is 16 by end of year. Clearly, the rule is not enforceable.

 

Oh, I did not know there were age limits. Interesting.

 

China was questioned on this and showed the girls' passports, issued by the Chinese government. See? They are too 16!

No way are all of them 16. I'd guess half are under 16. Bela Karolyi was going off about that again last night, but he's got a good point as KKK pointed out. Their official documentation is a passport issued by their country. Lots of checks and balances there :rolleyes:

It's the Olympics what do you expect? My fav is how a Spanish woman cyclist tested positive for EPO and a Spanish male also won the men's road race...hmmmm

 

Are you saying that they both float? And, if so, what other things float?

Churches, gravy, and very small rocks, of course

Given my autosig, I am required to respond, "A duck!"

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's probably a duck.

"But if... she... weighs... the same as a duck..."

"Yes, go on."

"She's made of wood."

"Goooooood! And therefore...?"

"A witch!"

Buuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrn her!!!1

Does anyone believe the girl on the gymnast team are 16? They faked the fireworks, they faked the opening ceremonies (lip synch). The Commie lies are everywhere.

 

No friggin' way!

 

I'd bet my left testicle.

Seems like the Spanish have been hell bent on using EPO to win this year (ie. Tour de France & Giro).

The Spanish Fly.

 

Perhaps it is in the water in Spain?? or they have been doing way to much R&D into human performance enhancement.

Two of the doctors implicated in the past 5 years with blood doping and EPO use have been Spanish.
