I really enjoy watching the Olympics, especially the more popular spectator sports, including Gymnastics. I had to wonder this year, however, about the integrity of the gold-medal-winning Chinese Women's team. Granted, gymnasts often look younger than their age, but I have to say that even for gymnasts, their team looked a little young. While watching, Alex and I said, "Hey, look! One of them doesn't even have all adult teeth yet."
Apparently, we aren't the only ones who noticed their appearance. The rule is that you have to be sixteen. I am not sure that they are. The United States earned the Silver. I am fine with that because we made mistakes. At least, we can say that it's an honest silver. The Chinese must be really, really aggressive about winning if their government will assist in helping their athletes cheat.
You probably don't care as much as I do, but if you do, check out the following link. Be sure to click on the red link listed within this article to another article in the New York Times that provides evidence.
