The Real Thing

While watching the Olympics the past few days, I was mostly troubled to watch the gymnastics for some odd reason. It is true that I dislike sporting events that are “graded” by judges, but the main reason is because of the kids that are passing as adults. This was highlighted by some of the girls on the Chinese gymnastics team. This article goes through the whole thing that many viewers, myself included, believed. Some of those girls running out there performing those wonderful acrobatic feats were mere prepubescents not 16 years of age.

Though the true age of these athletes may never actually be revealed to the public for many years, this age shifting process is not new at all. This all reeks of Danny Almonte and Miguel Tejada.
