I watched the Olympics last night to see the munchkin Chinese gymnastic team perform. I know their passports said thy were all 16 or at least turning 16 in 2008 but I like others have my doubts. In most females at around 12 to 16 years of age hormones are activated that cause body changes (breast tissue, curves, height). I did not observe any of these changes in a majority of the team. Adolescents also do not have "baby" teeth. I tried to see the size of the girls teeth and they went through their routines. I guess the IOC will turn a "blind eye" to possible age discrepancy. I know the USA team definitely had their problems but they do look like their stated ages.
