Olympics '08: Controversy Over Age of Gymnasts

Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week. (Aug. 15)

americans are so jealous, just like the Jewish bitch I know

@duhhxxxiloveyou Yup. When all you have to share with the world is the fact that you like food and Justin Bieber, it's probably a really good idea to keep your mouth shut.

I love He Kexin's look better in a ponytail than her bun!!! :)

@lora5121 I know, right? It would be like if a 300 lb. male wrestler lost to a 14 year old girl and making the excuse that he didn't really lose cuz the rules say girls aren't allowed to compete in male wrestling. It would be like - sure, whatever dude, you still got your ass kicked by a little girl.

people that protest over age or sex are just scared they will lose

@TheSagittarian4e You're such a f*ck*ng dumbass. The missing tooth thing was proven false like f*ck*ng 3 years ago. Get a f*ck*ng clue.

A quick note i remember watching this event and yes when one of the younger gymnast on the Chinese team smiled..you could clearly see she had recently lost a tooth near the front of her mouth...something by the age of 15/16 doesn't usually occur...regardless even if they did most likely cheat...the best competed and the best won.

@emilydowner Well, something's stinky.  I just assumed it was your foot.

[emilydowner]

@bikerOGX you are ridiculous. I'm not a lesbian you asshole. And I don't have a stinky foot problem. Go get help, your on some kind of drug.

[bikerOGX]

@emilydowner I'm just saying you could do a lot worst than Syd, that's all. She's the only one in the world who isn't completely grossed out by your stankfoot problem and actually massages them for you after gymnastics practice, even knowing full well she'll get stankhand in the process. If that isn't true love, I don't know what is. Remember, "the best way to keep your friend is not to give them away."
