Uh, Dave! Here's some actual OLYMPIC RESULTS for your OLYMPICS RESULTS thread.

 

 

China 22 . . 8 . . 5 . . . = 35

USA . 10 . . 9 . .15 . . . = 34

 

as of today!

Bella and his spouse are more in it for the money, if they had won the Gold you wouldn't have heard a word about this, their just trying to justify to American parents with money they should spend it with them to train their little darling for the Gold.

 

Yahoo! Sports gymnastics analyst Dominique Dawes talks about the questionable ages of the Chinese women's gymnastics team:

 

IMHO this is just poor sportsmanship being demonstrated by American Olympic team in general, there is a process for contesting the age issue with the IOC, but they thought it best to keep the American coaches in the spotlight instead. Just another ugly American with little class or style.

 

If anyone really has proof or a complaint concerning the age of the girls a formal protest with the IOC is the proper way to go.

Yeah... I hear the media complain to get attention from viewers, but I haven't head the girls from our American gymnastics team complain. Not once. Am I wrong?

Thanks for this TOPICAL addition Randy... And also of interest is that of China's 22 GOLDS...THIRTEEN have been won by women...

 

while US womyn have collected a paltry 3...

 

Is it any wonder we switched...

The girls have been everything you would expect of Olympians, but their coach even overshadowed their winning of the Silver by her bad behavior.

I guess that way it wouldn't look like the silver medal was her fault... right? Her job kinda depends upon how good her athletes do, and if China just plain cheated, then she didn't fail her job... or her country? In the eyes of her fellow citizens. I suppose that is the reckoning.

[Guest Rob & Jin]

The younger less developed girls are more agile due to less body mass and weight distribution. They do have an unfair advantage to girls over 16

And as NBC reported, younger girls are more reckless of their health to perform such death defying gymnastic routines. Good ole' NBC style reporting...

 

Jin says no way they are 16

 

The point is its cheating/ breaking the rules.

 

But having said that I thought the games was for originaly amateurs, that seems to be overlooked or forgotten too. Any amateurs in the redeem team ?
