Those kids are trained so hard, they get to see their parents about once a year.

It is impressive a 13 year old is that good, but it's still cheating. The rules are, you must be at least 16. Obviously, this 13 year old was better than the other 16+ year old Chinese gymnasts that didn't make it. This makes the team stronger while breaking the rules. I'd be willing to bet there are 14-15 year old American girls out there that could whip up on one of our 16+ year old olympic team gymnast.

Could this fake passport factory be located near the same booth as the fake CD, handbag and electronics department?

The "they still lost" comment...

Where did you get that from? They won gold..

In the individual competition they didn't, but the team competition they did.

As an old saying goes, "If you ain't cheatin, you ain't winnin."

Those little Chinese girls have no life other than gymnastics. They are treated like machines. Once their gymnastic career is over, the lack of proper socialization, mental and emotional development, education, etc will hit them like a ton of bricks. And the Chinese government won't give a flip. They got their use out of them.

What does everyone expect from a communist country?

I watched some of the women's gymnastics, and at least a couple of the American athletes were robbed of their scores (others got what they deserved).

But no one can deny Michael Phelps. Unbelievable.

We need to do the same in middle school to help with the fat ones. There are so many fat high school and collage people its pathetic. I know in collage we eat out alot becasue it suites the collage life. If the Us adopts a good P.E program a good one then the fat rate will go down. You can eat what you want but you must burn twice the calories.
