Asians look younger than europeans/americans as it is. i spoke to a japanese woman the other day and i persumed she was 24, turns out she was 32! they are small built, tiny ladies in general. American girls tend to look 19 by the time they reach 14. FACT. so this whole age issue is just a waste of time.

Americans need to learn that when they win they wn, when they lose they LOSE. ENOUGH with the pointing of fingers/ excuses. jeez

They are definitely not serious, I have been watching so many video clips about them both in the arena and outside the arena. Apart from being gold medalist, they are not that different from other people who are at their age and all of them are very cute.

@AmAzInGCTtUmBlErdude Actually, you're talking out of your ass. The Chinese gymnasts were cleared over 3 years ago. And Junior gymnasts are not better than Senior gymnasts. Why don't you put your money where your big fat mouth is? Have the U.S. send all juniors to the 2012 Olympics. No Senior gymnasts allowed. I'm sure all the other countries will be more than happy to make an exception in the rules.

@maysoon24 I understand where you're coming from but there was confirmation from China that several of their gymnasts had been underage at the time of the olympics. The reason that this was such a huge deal to us was because we understood how younger gymnasts are trained so fearlessly in the sport and conditioned to perform better. Their smaller stature makes them complete flips and twists sooner and added quite an unfair advantage to Team China.

Incredible routine!

[pinkilooloo88]

hmm wow thats scary. she executed that routine perfectly !

[pinkilooloo88]

well how old is she?

[saintesavine]

I teach 13 yr old girls that look 18 and 18 yr old girls that look like 13. They are all different and it's hard to tell when you get into upper level competition. Most gymnasts are small and look 3-5 years younger than their actual age.

This is my favorite routine from Kexin <3

I truly believe that Kexin was of competition age in Beijing. The Beijing Olympics meant A LOT to Chinese team. They have been scouting and planning since before Athens. There's no way they would jeopardize their position by cheating the gymnast's ages this time around.

@MercySparkles You're completely wrong. Of course it would have been. Some of Russia/the USA's best athletes were under competitive age. Why is okay for one country to essentially choose for a talent pool twice as large as that of their competitors? It's not. What the Chinese did was straight up cheating and totally illegitimizes their win in my book.
