Default Did China Lie about the female gymnastic' ages?

After watching the women's gymnastics, I still question, as well as others whether some of the girls were really the required age of 16.

Hi pam,

I'm not sure But I can tell you that I saw 2 of them taking a nap with a bottle in their mouth. I also noticed another one of them holding a rattle.

God bless,
Carl

I think I saw that too. Seriously. A couple of them didn't look older than 10 or 11.

One is missing a tooth, like when you lose your baby teeth.

Mr. Ben ( notice the respect offered )

Thanks for the welcome,
I have really enjoyed learning about the LDS as well as the interesting topics discussed.
I would add that ( for what it's worth from an Non member ) I have really been impressed with the loving light so many of you shine.

Thanks again for the warm welcome
Thanks more for not calling me out on my challenge.

God bless,
Carl
