According to the Times Online there is now proof that China used underage gymnasts—thanks to the free part of the internet, that is.
A U.S. hacker used his chop-chops to uncover Chinese Government documents proving that He Kexin and Yang Yilin are only 14.
According to the People’s Daily Online, the “Golden Gymnasts” are not fazed by such allegations: “My real age,” said He Kexin, ” is 16 and what others say does not affect me. ”
Honorable Head coach, Lu Shanzhen, attributed the Chinese team’s rebound from the 2004 medal-less Olympics to a “series of reforms”: “While choosing the roster for the finals, we took into consideration all the accidents that may happen,” Shanzhen said.

This is not going to have a pretty ending, folks.

Speaking of endings, I’m just another new blog, now. Starting all over in blog world feels like death. This morning I woke up contemplating blogger hari kari, or at least I thought so, till Wikipedia told me how grisly it can be. Plus, I don’t have the guts for it. You’ve got to plunge a malicious worm into your hard drive and move it left to right in a slicing motion.

Speaking of left to right, back to the picture: From left to right, we have silver medalist Nastia of the U.S., gold medalist He of China and bronze medalist Yang of China posing on the podium during the awards ceremony for the women’s uneven bars. I wonder how devastated these Chinese girls will feel if their medals are stripped away. Would they ever be allowed to compete again?

Speaking of competitions, there’s the men’s basketball finals to ruminate upon: Our Lithuanian friends lost to Argentina 87-75. But what of the U.S.? Did the Super 12 avoid devastation? Well, it was too close at the end and Coach K, due to his West Point background, was sweating bullets, I’m sure.

The fact is, his boys/our boys only led their boys by 4 points with 2.5 minutes left to play. So I’ll whisper the final score….. Not that it matters, ’cause Google has sandboxed me for changing three letters of my domain name (o u t to i n g). Oh crap, now I’m back to that hari kari stuff. All of a sudden Suck it Up has new meaning.

Sucking it up: Last night I saw a Bob Costas interview with Jacques Rogge (feeble head of the International Olympic Committee). Hot on a trail, Costas could not disguise the lust in his eyes, while Jacques countered with an already dead look in his. Jacques the rogue my have sold his soul for plenty big yuan, but this controversy about the underage gymnasts is not over, folks, as there may be as many as 6 (yes six) Chinese children who shouldn’t have been prancing about on the floor of the Bird’s Nest Stadium.

Not to worry, the International Gymnastics Federation or FIG is looking into the problem, gathering documentation, such as passports, identity cards and family booklets.

All booklets aside, folks, if the gold medal looks almost as big as the face, then what does that tell you?
