Did the Chinese fake the girls' ages for the Olympics?

Any feelings about the Chinese as in general after you've been watching the Olympics?

  • So during that whole age-debate on the female gymnasts, some people say the chinese cheated, some disagree. Since the Olympics rules only needs the passport to qualify for the age, the Chinese has already listed their passports with the ages in them and so yeah! Anyway, after all of this rumors, how do you feel about the Chinese? P.S. I felt a little offended earlier when some people say the Chinese people are cheaters and stuff like that. I think it's the GOVERNMENT, itself! rawr. -_-

  • Answer:

    I have been watching the Chinese girls compete in gymnastics and there is no way that they are old enough to compete. Most of them look barely old enough to be 12 years old. However, even though there is a chance that they could be "faking" passports, I don't see how it would really matter. In my opinion, i feel that it is pretty amazing that girls that age would be able to compete that well. They are amazing, especially if they are that much younger.

They tried to give the gold to the Chinese just like in the team competition, but in the eyes of everyone the chinese did not even deserve the bronze. The Americans were almost flawless,but if they made the same number of mistakes the chinese made they would not have won. It is truly amazing that they won even though they were not playing on an even or equal playing field.

Chinese people are great and put on a awesome venue, Government backed cheating is lame, and that's exactly what happened no doubt. It's all said and done and nothing you can do about it but just enjoy the rest of the Olympics.

i really find that the U.S is really complaining about everything lol... have you looked at the U.S team? their girls look like their 12 too.. I'm American an i still find our sportsmanship disgusting.. china beat us at gymnastics.. they deserved to because they were better, no need to go looking for excuses thats just sad. an China is doing a heck of a job running these Olympics theres nothing but praise from every country but the U.S.. truly shameful and classless act by our whole country.

Younger is better in gymnastics and when you start at 3, you can peak at 10-13, China cheated with younger gymnastic, totally unfair. U.S. doesn't need more practice, China needs to stop lying and cheating.

Its hard for the U.S. to win in Chinese territory isn't it strange that the Chinese is good in these Olympics? Might be because their at home GO U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far I have not been impressed at all with them hosting the olympics,I have nothing wrong with the people who live there its just corupt system. T They listed 1/2 of there athletes this year as 14 and under in a official gymnastic events yet they want use to by the whole "bu buh we have passports BS" ? Also it was obivious that they where trying to give China gold tonight and if they head lady hadn't come down and yelled, they would of probaly gotten gold Also not allowing a little girl to sing because she's not cute enough for your liking is shamefull EDIT- To the user who said " that just goes to show how much more practice US needs, since 13 and 14 year-olds beat them." You have no clue how gymnastics works and you have to be one of the most arrogant person ive ever seen. The main concept of training is strength for your weight. When you hit puberty you grown breast, wider hips and your weight increase starts to surpass your strength.increase........ Being younger is a huge advantage and we've had 13-14 year old win Gold before the rule was changed all the time....... Please think before posting

I don't care if they lied about their ages. The U.S. messed up big time and China excelled. China was better and if they were younger, that just goes to show how much more practice US needs, since 13 and 14 year-olds beat them.

LOL, so funny how people that know NOTHING about gymnastics think that younger is a disadvantage YOUNGER is sooooo much better in gymnastics, that's why China had younger gymnasts, why on earth would they use younger gymnasts and risk it if they were not better than older gymnasts. Younger is better in gymnastic and always has been.
