China Cheating?  

I think it is very possible they are cheating. I believe that they want so much to show off to the world they will do so by any means.

Anything is possible if you're the host nation. Not only in gymnastics but in other sports as well where they have a Chinese athlete entered into that particular event. I was watching one of the preliminary boxing bouts the other day, and it was quite surprising that the Chinese boxer was scoring even when he's not landing clean punches, and his opponent wasn't being credited scores even when he's pummeling the Chinese boxer.

I read how that one girl was said to be 13 months before the Olympics, before it suddenly changed when it came to time to qualify. A reporter tried to get her to slip up by asking how she celebrated her 15th birthday. Evidently she paused for a long time, and then said it was an ordinary day. She does look around ten years old, but if nothing can be proven, then I guess we have to let it go. But it really looks bad because she had been listed as 13 in a lot of other competitions before the Olympics.

I believe that China is cheating. I think they should be stripped of the gold medals. What kind of example is the olympic commitee sending to all the other countries that if your the host country it's ok to have underage girls compete? You can tell just by looking at these girls that they are 13 or 14.

I think the International Olympic Committee should demand to see actual birth certificates, rather than passports. Passports are much more easy to fake than birth certificates. I think that He Kexin is definitely not 16 by anyone's imagination, no matter what her passport says. I've never seen a 16 year old that was that small, even if they were Asian and into gymnastics. Could they have made it a little less obvious? I think that if they are found out to be lying, the gold medal should be taken away from them and given to the United States. I am not saying this out of patriotism, here, but really, in the spirit of the games. If the United States were accused of the same situation and found to be lying, I would say, give the medal to the Chinese.

If the Olympic federation thought she was only 14 they would do something about it. If our Olympic team thought she was only 14 they would contest it. I have not heard anyone contesting it. Time will tell. It might take getting out of China before someone contests it.

i can't say for sure. but when the question is raised, there is something to it I believe. it can be the possible case. she no way looks 16, at least to me. I heard there are probes, but it has ended and where is the result?
