  There is no way all the Chinese girls were 16+ in Beijing either!!

  Man...it's been a long day...I read that as China lost a total of 2000 medals. I was like WTF? Who has that many medals? No way there's that many events!

  Now for them to do the same with the Beijing medals.

  This happens ever Olympics for China. I don't know why it takes 10 years to decide someone is too young.

  I remember we had a HUGE discussion on this on the old huddle during the Beijing games....
• Fab1b

  

  We also had a huge discussion on the hotness of Alicia Sacramone as well!!

  ^^^^
  
  this as well. I remember the youtube video of her punching that dude out
• Fab1b

  

  yes sir
• darbypitcher22

  

  we had a huge good ole fashion bitch fest about those chinese girls the night of the team competition
• Fab1b

  

  I certainly remember I just don't get how it took them 10 yrs for this to be revealed. I guess if they feel like they were underage in 2008 we will get the news and the ladies will get their medals in 2018!

  I was beginning to think Fab and Darby were hijacking the thread with all the talk of Miss Sacramone!

  I would do bad things to that chick

  Sadly, I'm not sure anything will happen about 2008 since they investigated them then and found nothing. But there is no way half of the Chinese girls were over 16. Looked like grade school kids and it was a shame to watch.

  I guess rules are rules. Maybe being younger in gymnastics helps, but if you're the USA people, do you feel proud of those medals knowing you really got beat by a 14 year old?
  
  Maybe I'm ignorant to gymnastics because I really know nothing about it.
• Fab1b

  

  The younger/smaller is an advantage in that sport so I don't think they feel that way.
