I saw an article on the Sports Illustrated site. They found a site that had an article that was dated I think last year sometime in Nov. Anyway, in the article the Chinese kept talking about how young she was. They also made the comment that she was ONLY 13! I think the whole thing is BS! The IOC said that they checked the passports and that they were all approved! That is the only document that they check! Safe to say the Chinese would forge any document that they had too. OHHH that article that was found was later taken down. UMMMM wonder why??!!
I was so glad to see our girls finally get the medals they deserved! They did a great job!
