Cheng Fei - The best one in China's team - 20 years old.

 

Also Age.... gets you experiance so you dont go and fuck it up like Alicia Sacramone.

 

I didn't ask you to name someone who is 20 and in gymnastics, I asked if there was anyone who was more limber at 19 than 12. 

As for experience, I thought it was common knowledge they were "selected" at a young age by the government and put into training programs.  I'm pretty sure any experience factors are more than made up for. 

None of this really matters though. As I said, what is the point of having rules if they aren't enforced? First they have to prove it though, and that isn't likely to happen now.

Well just because you are more "limber" doesn't mean you are better, as for how old they really are...I don't know, but they should judge them just because they think the look "young"

 

And having more experience doesn't mean you're better either.

But again the bottom line is that a rule is a rule.  If they drug test Michael Felps tomorrow and they find traces of pot in his system nobody questions that his medals will get taken away (ala the Canadian Snowboarder back in Salt Lake City iirc). .
