IMHO i don't think that the rivalry has anything to do with the gymnasts age being questioned.. (For a country that can falsify documents and make webpages containing incriminating information disappear China has to come up with a better excuse than that) there's no doubt that those Chinese gymnasts are amazing but at the same time if I were on the U.S. women's team if i were to get beat I would prefer for it to happen legally (with all the participants being the right age)as opposed to by a nation that would do anything to win gold..
and for the "investigation" to already be over is pretty ridiculous... i don't know what's worse the world knowing that those Chinese women didn't truly deserve the medal or the fact that the Chinese are still trying to maintain a lie that has already caught up to them
