ive of the six members of China's gold medal-winning women's gymnastics team, the little girls who said they were 16, probably were 14 and looked like they were 12.
But give China's sports leaders their due: They do understand physics. The tinier the body, the better it spins and twists and flies through the air.
that goes for you, too, Russia and Romania.
Wouldn't it be something if the 2012 Games provide the first truly even playing field in women's gymnastics? It's about time. After all, what good is an age minimum if it's not adhered to by everyone?
