August 14, 200818 yr Women's Field Hockey. I just don't think I want to be on a field with a bunch of irate women wielding sticks. Add that to the receiving end of the Cuban volleyball women's serve of things I wouldn't want to do in the Olympics.

I couldn't stop laughing when I tried watching that the other day. :lol:
August 14, 200818 yr Yeah, but I'm sure you could kick some butt in Badminton. I couldn't stop laughing when I tried watching that the other day. :lol: Would you get points taken away for bringing your beer on the court?
August 14, 200818 yr Is anyone watching the basketball game on nbcolympics.com? It's great. There's no commentators so you can hear everything that the players are saying on the court. Unreal.
August 14, 200818 yr Official stats for the Chinese team, pictured clockwise from left: Linlin Deng (4'6", 68 lbs, age 16); Shanshan Li (4'9", 79 lbs, age 16); Fei Cheng (5'0", 95 lbs, age 20); Yilin Yang (4'11", 77 lbs, ... I bet all the boys will be fighting over who gets to take these girls to the high school prom this year. I mean 4'6" 68 lbs. Thats every guys dream. My daughter just turned 4 back in July. She's already 41 lbs. and has completed two semester with the Tumble Bears class. Chinese officials are calling already to see if we would consider moving to Beijing to train for the 2012 games. I can't believe the IOC doesn't investigate this farther. They are so concerned about doping, they should be about any form of cheating!

I find it hard to believe that all of these girls are 20 or younger, especially considering they already have their mugshots...
August 14, 200818 yr Chinese news service reported that the gold medalist gymnast is only 13. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/olympics/2008/08/14/underage.gymnasts/index.html

August 14, 200818 yr I'd say its not long before the head of that news service "disappears." That was my thought as well! Probably not long after the games are finished he will get a knock on his door late one night...
August 14, 200818 yr Author I really believe the IOC should do more about this situation and strip the Chinese of this medal. I felt this way before they even started, so it's not just because they beat the USA.
August 14, 200818 yr ^^I completely agree, but there is absolutely no way to prove it. They could x-ray her left hand to check her bone age, but even that is not 100% accurate. If the government has falsified the documents, then the hands of the IOC are tied.
August 14, 200818 yr Author Yeah I know. It is just really unfortunate for the other competitors, not just USA but all of the other women's gymnasts.
August 14, 200818 yr The bad thing is, how do you keep it from happening in the future? If the Chinese get away with it this year (which they obviously have), then what is going to stop other teams from doing the same?
