China wins Women's Gymnastics (but did they cheat)

So as I said in my last post, I am pretty much hooked on the Olympics. Tonight was the Women's Team Gymnastics competition. It was an interesting competition where you couldn't really be sure who was going to win until the final apparatus (floor exercise). Our ladies did extremely well up until the floor exercise and it really seemed like they sort of fell apart. I am proud of the accomplishments they made even through the adversity of having 2 injured teammates. Sean Johnson really seemed rock steady until the very end. I am sure she will be a strong competitor in the All Around competition.

All of this begs the question though - are the Chinese Gymnastics athletes at least 16 years old??? They sure don't look like any 16 year old that I have seen around. I have seen elementary kids that look older than most of those girls. I know that their "passport" claims they are over 16 but documents can be fabricated. I really hope the International Olympic Committee looks into this. It would really be a shame if China was cheating on their home turf.

What do you think???
