'bout time someone looked into this!

here's a link to an interesting article regarding the chinese gymnastics team.

"All the good work China did to put on these Olympics could be forgotten because of an unnecessary, arrogant move by the government. Why risk everything to put a 14-year old in the competition when they could have replaced her with an of-age 16-year old gymnast? Sure, He is a better gymnast than the Chinese gymnasts who were eligible to compete, but with the judges they had at the Olympics, would it really have mattered?"

so true! i'm glad i'm not the only one who felt the coaches generously scored the chinese gymnasts. and while a different/not-so-talented chinese gymnast in he's place may not have bumped the usa to gold in the team competition, at least i would feel that china is being a fair competitor. something is definitely up, though, because china has been so defensive about the whole thing. it's about time there is an official investigation!
