she was so cute and so good

The judges made a mistake! They posted 9.5 for this routine and then they realized they had posted her AGE by accident.

who thinks its unfair how gymnastics has age limits and divers compete at 12 and 13 now, when gymnasts have to be 15 or 16?

[Stonymypony]

@cheer4gym I think the age limits are reasonable considering the strain elite level gymnastics put on your body. Competing at such a high level to early can cause permanent harmful damage to your body.

So how old isn't she here?

[midnightparade]

OMG! she was like.. 12?!

So amazing.. Even with age fixing, she deserved to be at every major event she compted in.

she couldnt of been 12 because she was in the olympic the next year and you need to at least be like 14 to be in the olympics so she had to be 13 here

[ElphabaPWNs]

I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. They lied. According to her records she was seventeen for three years.

[maxy7792]

does that look like a 17 teen year old smart one?

[QueenieQue]

You are the one who is not "smart"; ElphabaPWNs pointed out that the North Korean government lied about her age. She wasn't actually 17, but that's what they said she was. She obviously doesn't look 17, and that, combined with the falsified records, proved the lies. Maybe you should study your gymnastics history before you make asinine comments.
