That Chinese Gymnast is only 14!!!
 

I thought she looked about 12 personally. Anyway, I guess she will be disqualified.

I would be happy if they put the minimum age for participating in the olympics at 18.

Children should not be competing at this level.

Doing something like that suits the Chinese so much :rotfl:

Thats cheating as a gymnast too - less ground to clear with a smaller body. A smaller frame of a child has many advantages over an adult frame in this sport.

No matter what age they start competing at, I don't think the government should be allowed to take these children from their families at the age of 3 in order to make them show pieces for national pride.

Bah, it's the Chinese government, they do whatever they want

Damn commies...

It's Communism man! Hasn't this always been their way?

-S

Seems to be that way. But as a member of a "fringe political group" (inside jab), I feel I must protest the human rights side of this controversy. It may have been that way for ages, but it doesn't have to continue (although, I'm sure it will).

There is no human rights for Communists. Never has been, never will be. Hence why we've been fighting it since WWII.

Didn't these goobers also make the medals out of lead or something?

SUB, didn't you read Animal Farm? ALL animals are equal. But some are more equal than others.

Hahahaha! :rotfl:That cracked me up!

:p On the Olympics anyway! My opinion is that gymnastics shouldn't even be in the olympics. That goes for any so-called sport that requires judges to say who's best. Either you win or you lose. :p

Now to the real interesting part of Olympics: genetic doping. ;)

LOL :lol:
