can i also quickly just say...considering that these girls' government issued passports were the accepted proof of age, and also considering that these girls were taken from their homes at the age of four for training (i've been watching a lot of these olympics. but they always say the same story every time. get some new material pleez.) i mean, wouldn't strings easily be pulled for them if the purpose was to train them to be better than all other countries? i'm just throwing that out there.
