why - you worried about getting arrested?
i don't think watching gymnastics is illegal at the moment, but you might want to keep quiet about it... word gets around, you know.

LOL.
The commentator has just stated that one of the Chinese girls was 16 years old, no way, she looked about 10.
Stewards enquiry me thinks.

Well there ought to be - end up cripples when they are grown up. Young growing bodies are not designed for the sort of training routine that is required. Remember those Russian kids and what happened to them? Just MHO DL

Those Romanian girls were very young indeed. If they are allowed to participate, then I guess they're of sufficient age? Would have liked to smack their bums, too 
(you're right, it's a bit weird).

Dont know how true it is (pub talk) but a mate told me once that in romania they get girls of the age of about 13 pregnant and make them have abortions, this somehow has an effect on slimness and delaying adult hood etc, something like that....
pinch of salt thou unless any1 else has heard the same?

From the article in yoza's post #5:
"The fourteen and fifteen year old gymnasts are being exploited. Parents find it easier to control kids at that age."
I think the researchers never had teenage kids...
