update on the gymnasts.....
Quote : | "BEIJING (AP) -- Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week.
In its report Nov. 3, Xinhua identified He as one of "10 big new stars" who made a splash at China's Cities Games. It gave her age as 13 and reported that she beat Yang Yilin on the uneven bars at those games. In the final, "this little girl" pulled off a difficult release move on the bars known as the Li Na, named for another Chinese gymnast, Xinhua said in the report, which appeared on one of its Web sites, http://www.hb.xinhuanet.com
The Associated Press found the Xinhua report on the site Thursday morning and saved a copy of the page. Later that afternoon, the Web site was still working but the page was no longer accessible. Sports editors at the state-run ne" |

I can't believe I missed Blake's/Fed's match. It seemed pretty epic from what I read.
As for this gymnastics thing we are totally getting hosed. This isn't just about "rawr rawr go Amurica" sour grapes but this is just silly. 8/15/2008 12:22:05 AM |

I love how the annoucers said that "even though we are in China there are not more Chinese judges" after the Chinese girls score came up 8/15/2008 12:26:13 AM |

I am no gymnastics expert (I do know that if you bust your ass, that's not good), so me knowing that we're getting screwed means we're getting screwed.
Apparently, the Olympics weren't the only thing the Chinese paid for. I guess the judges were in the package deal.

I don't mind giving props to China or any other country when it's deserved but seriously. Once you discount the obviously bias announcers it's clear to everyone actually watching the routines that the USA is getting gyped. 8/15/2008 12:32:58 AM |

^^^^They might be bias but what they are saying is true. There are a lot of obvious mistakes by other girls that are getting scores much higher than they should.
