RE: Busted!
I watched the DVR recording ofthe women's individual events yesterday at lunch, and was not stoked about how everything turned out. I told my wife that I couldn't wait for the Chinese rusetobe discovered, so our girlscan geta couple morewell deserved gold medals. Now, it is not thatHe (which is confusing enough, because "He" is a she)...It's not that Heisn't better than the othergymnasts at such a young age. The problem is they broke the rules if He/she is under 16. It reminds me of that stoner argument..."pot is way safer than booze, duuuuuude". That may be the case, but...smoking pot is against the rules and so is a 14 year old female olympiannamed He (is that like a boy named Sue?).

Dude, in gymnastics, younger is better. You are over the hill at 16, whereas peak is like 14. 13 or 14. Has something to do with body mass and gravity and whatever.

RE: Busted!
This all looks like sour grapes to me................
I've always believed in the old adage
If you're good enough, you're old enough.
Whether the judging was fair, is another issue altogether.
The US needs to fire the track relay coach - that was two medals down the tubes due to poor discipline and coaching, if ever I've seen it.
(Our coaches were just as much to blame - our people dropped the baton too, but we weren't going to win)
(Now waits for howls of indignation from the States.......) he he
