RANT: Huggies Wow I'm a Gymnast Now: Underage Chinese Gymnasts? Bella Caroli is right!
View Full Rant here


Huggies wow; I'm a gymnast now!
I am watching the Olympics right now and couldn't be more upset watching a sporting event. I am not mad that the country I am routing for (United States) is falling apart, not mad because the only event they are showing is gymnastics, but furious because several of the gymnasts are clearly under the 16 year old age requirement. Bella Caroli himself made a comment during the broadcast that the Chinese gymnasts were under 16 but since they had "legitimate" passports, they are allowed to compete. Aren't the Olympics supposed to be the purist form of sports? Will cheating in sports ever end?

Obviously I have absolutely no evidence or proof that any of the gymnasts in the olympics are under the age of 16. But if you are fortunate to have a set of eyes and common sense you can clearly see that the women...sorry little girls that are putting on an amazing show are barely toilet trained. Ok that may be a little harsh but look at them! Many of the Chinese girls do not come up to the shoulders of any other countries athletes. I think I saw someone on the balance beam who didn't have teeth yet. Are they midgets? Is there a national problem in China with women who have stunted growth?

These girls are unbelievable, but still little girls who have no life outside of gymnastics. They are sent by their parents as young as 3 off to train for the Olympics. Sometimes they are even able to see their parents once every other year.

break in the article
(Bella Caroli just once again stated how unfortunate it is that these underage girls are legally allowed to participate. Hope he doesn't take a lot of heat for this because he is right)

The Chinese gymnastics would have won even if they had 16 year old athletes because they train harder and longer than many other countries, but let's keep the playing field level. Americans are no better, I am not bashing China at all, simply whoever is behind underage athletes in the Olympics. Americans use illegal substances and other performance enhancers in sports..but usually it is one individuals decision not a team of cheaters.

China however denies that they use underage gymnasts.
