So the Chinese win the team Gold in gymnastics and now there's new stories and investigative reports that some of the girls may be under 16 (the required age to compete). Sounds like sour grapes to me.

But instead lets look at their arguments: That the girls are very small, don't weigh enough and look young

1) One of the girls is only 68 pounds. American girls they say average 100 pounds at 16. What they fail to mention is that on average, Americans weigh more than Chinese people, in fact more than everyone, as the most obese country in the world.

2) They are short - only 4'6" apparently for one of the girls. Besides Yao Ming, is it not possible that Chinese people are generally shorter than Americans, so why would anyone expect their 16-year-old girls to be the same size as American girls?

3) They just look young. Plenty of girls look far younger than their age ... Just ask a few people in porn who own "teen" sites where the 24-year-old model(s) look 18. Lots of people look younger then their age, but CNN isn't trying to keep them honest.

Of course, they may not be 16 after all, China has used an underage girl before in competition. But really, would anyone even care if they didn't crush the Americans and take the gold?
