Is China Using Underage Gymnasts in Violation of Olympic Rules?


Is China Using Underage Gymnasts in Violation of Olympic Rules?

JERÉ LONGMAN and JULIET MACUR Report:  Officials with the International Gymnastics Federation said that questions about He’s age had been raised by Chinese news media reports, USA Gymnastics and fans of the sport, but that Chinese authorities presented passport information to show that He is 16. Online records listing Chinese gymnasts and their ages that were posted on official Web sites in China, along with ages given in the official Chinese news media, however, seem to contradict the passport information, indicating that He and Jiang may be as young as 14 — two years below the Olympic limit.

    No, it’s a known fact that Noodles, like Nigs, wear their age better than the rest of the races.

    Well between this, CGI fireworks, lip synching the Ode to the Motherland because the singer is too ugly, oh yeah and massacre in Tibet. I’d say democracy in China is right around the corner.

    yes, pretty clear they are underage. but then again, if youth were such a competitive advantage, why did we have a 20-yr-old on the US team (instead of all our competitors being the absolute minimum age?) the sad thing is the way the Chinese exploit the kids — separated from their family and parents at a very early age.

    Who cares. If you are better, you should win the gold. Besides, they should just look at their teeth to tell their age.

    OK.... says:

    I like how the IOC didn’t want to “upset” the hosts…so they didn’t push the issue. Underage gymnasts are considered a big advantage…so it is cheating as it is a RULE? They were better it is true, to bad that they were not even allowed to compete if they followed the rules like everyone else. One of them even had a State issued ID with her birthday imprinted on it on a web site last year…but suddenly she gets a passport “issued” 6 months before the Olympics with a different birth date..adding almost 2 years. Yeah nothing going on there.

    They told the “heartwarming” story of one of the girls last night where she was taken from her family at the age of THREE and allowed to see her family MAYBE once a year. She wanted to come home and her parents said no…..yep quite a shining beacon….

    At first I was mad because clearly most of the Chinese team are not even close to 16. Then I realized, who gives a damn? If a 12 year old can beat a 20 year old in something then more power to them.

    They take kids from their parents at age 3. Then they bind their feet so they can not grow, then they tell the kids that if they win the gold, they can see their parents for the first time…

    Oh, and they eat dogs!’

    It is laughable how bitter people are.

    ‘Oh no, they are cheaters because they are half our gymnasts’ age. That is unfair because . . . they have less experience, are less mature and less confident? Well, let me make my bruised ego feel better by bashing them some other way. Oh!! I know – they are child laborers! Even though they are Olympic champions and will have more fame and money than I can ever dream of . . . Oh, well . . . they work too hard. Because of course American athletes do not train at a very young age and don’t have to practice AT ALL, and do not have give up ANYTHING to compete in the Olympics! YEah . . . Go America!’
