Hot off the Press!

Do these gymnasts look 16 to you?

You're absolutely right! They are NOT 16; in fact they happen to be 14. These girls competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. I just read an article about how the International Federation of Gymnastics just learned this fact (even though the world could clearly tell the girls were too young).

It's only a matter of time before they put two and two together and realize that the Chinese gymnasts that competed in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 were also underage. Take that! The article did say that the questions raised during the Beijing games lead to an investigation into the games in 2000. Why didn't these questions lead to an investigation into the Beijing games?! It really makes no sense.

Now the U.S. women's team, by default, will receive the Bronze Medals they deserved in those games. Ten years later. It took them that long to discover something the rest of the world already knew.

I leave you humming "Our Day Will Come."
