so far everything checks out. all the girls are legal age.
asians in general look a lot younger than they are if you are using western physical cues of age. gymnasts also look very young for their age, as the best body type is small, thin, slender. Put that together with an already young age of 16, of course people are going to be thinking the girls are younger than they are. They're just so used to seeing certain physical cues from 16 years olds from america.
Plus, them winning is probably causing a big fuss. If China placed 3rd or something and U.S placed first, I'm willing to bet no one here would be giving a shit at this point.
