One of the Chinese girls has a missing tooth where her baby tooth fell out and a regular tooth hasn't grown in yet. 16 year old girls don't have that problem so I would say she's quite a bit younger.
I do think there is something to the fact that the stadium officials made the American girl wait 15 minutes before doing her balance beam act. In football you call a time out before a game deciding field goal to "ice" the kicker, I think they did the same thing here. Plus, I read the American girl was known in those circles to have problems with choking under pressure so the Chinese may have known they had that option if things got close. I wouldn't put that past the Chinese officials nor would I put the fact that they forged the documents to use younger girls which most coaches seem to agree perform better under pressure.
