Well, the women's gymnasts should give their medals back. They are not old enough to compete. The little one in the team competition looked like she was barely ten and even had a tooth missing. Now major news agencies have uncovered more and more evidence that these girls are not 16 yet and will not turn 16 this year. I'm sorry, but the government issuing them passports making them older than they really are is not proper sportsmanship. This prompts the question, where else did they cheat to push for the gold?

I agree. I'm sorry but there's been too many issues of misconduct by China to date for me to trust anything they do or say.
If they can't play by the rules, not only should they be banned from future olimpics, but also from hosting them.
China says they want to show the world how good they are. Yet they do a lot of cheating and deceitful acts to get there. It makes me wonder how many of their medals are legal. If you're going to cheat and lie, why should anyone believe anything you won is by honest play and fair sportsmanship?

Well, I think when track and field is over and done with the US will pull a lot more gold medals, we will probably get two more from Michael Phelps. China will probably get a few more too, but I think the US will have the most overall medals and cut close to their number of gold medals if predictions are right, it's still kind of early in the games since they end on the 24th I believe. It has been really fun to watch these last couple days, I can't wait to see Michael Phelps go for more gold tonight (today in China 
).
).
