sometimes i kind of wonder how great of a program the U.S. would have if we adopted those methods but making minor changes such as still having the emphasis on education and etc?? Does anyone know WHY they changed the age of eligibility?

The U.S. would never adopt those type of methods. The Chinese girls really don't have a choice, and if the U.S. did that, you know people would start claiming kidnapping & child abuse, along with all sorts of things.
The comments Marta made just seem like something a coach would say. Kinda typical when your team doesn't come in first, and you want to blame someone other than yourself. Alicia messed up, she tried to overcorrect on the balance beam and fell off, and she just couldn't get back her concentration for floor exercise.
