Hey thanks for your response, Everyone is going to have an opinion on the matter but I'm sticking to mine. No one has a problem if she want's to play soccer and competes so why is this different. I value your feed back always.

@luvmytorties Except that younger isn't better. If it was, Juniors would be better than Seniors and the highest scores would come from the Youth Olympic gymnasts, but they don't.

I think younger is better because they are lighter, smaller and much more flexible. We've had three 14 yr old's. A female gymnast has a short life span because the changes in her body. She can no longer do high flips but can still remain flexible. Change the age and let China have it.

@weepingod You right, you right. Let's bash China, and embrace the corrupt politics and businesses of America, the ignorance to the physiology and cultures of other countries, and how CEO's are grabbing millions off their companies while letting their employees out on the streets. Oh, and while the economy was going down the crapper, we had time to make pizza a vegetable. ALL THE AWARDS TO YOU.

Unless Bela Karolyi doubles as a certified dentist with superb vision, I'm disregarding his claims of the Chinese gymnasts having baby teeth. Poor dentistry is not unheard of. The Chinese being small is not unheard of. The "3.5 inches shorter, 30 lbs lighter" is relevant to the average Chinese and the average American (not just gymnasts), due to difference in diets. It's funny because the idea of the girls being younger than the minimum only came up when USA lost the gold to China. :)
