No worries the ugly girl will stand behind a screen and talk while you look at the pretty one.

If they are 12, they still won. So, even if the rules say otherwise, they were better.

I think the point is that being younger they have an advantage.  Should people who used steriods also keep their medals? 

At the end of the day it boils down to a simple question: Did they violate the rules? If yes, take away gold medal. If no or it can't be proven, then they keep the medal.  Otherwise there is no point in having the rules to begin with.

Shame they couldn'ty have the athletes do their stunts and digitize more attractive girls over them .

Are you joking?  Who was more limber/flexible at 19 than 12?  =P

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.
