The kids at such a young age are put through an extreme amount of physical stress when their bodies are not completely ready, especially in gymnastics.<BR/><BR/>Their bodies at such a young age are not completely developed and that is why you have to be at least 16, which is when the average female is almost completely developed, at least bone structure wise. They broke the rules and it is a competive advantage to have girls that are not even 70 pounds in the olympics. It is cheating and if it is true that they cheated, it is wrong.<BR/><BR/>You have to understand how things work in China.
