[quote=GUEST17693,313070]I'm not sure they're underage, the rumours sound very convincing to me although there is no actual proof. But I'm sure that if they are, they started training a lot earlier than the other gymnasts. This is what the rules are meant to prevent, I guess. Apparently, if you start training - to compete at such a high level - at a very young age in which your body (and bones, especially) is not enough developped and formed, not only you risk serious injuries while performing the movements those gymnasts are required to do, but you also risk serious health consequences at an older age. It could be that younger girls feel a lot less pressure and therefore *maybe* can compete better, but this is not really about the "cheating" and winning the olympic gold medal (which, imho, the chinese girls deserved more than the USA team, anyway, just because the latter made more mistakes), this is about these young girls' health!!![/quote]
