Sweet 16

There are few things in the sporting world I care less about than gymnastics, so I'm mildly amused about the controversy over whether or not the Chinese gymnasts were old enough. I mean, how can anyone question that these young women are all at least 6--oops, I mean 16--years old?



(Oh, I suppose I should care because it's not sporting if their passports were faked, and it's terrible what their young bodies are put through from an early age, and all that other stuff. Fine, point taken--and I will say that if there are any "sports" I hope Mädchen never gets into, gymnastics and ice skating would be at the top of the list. But c'mon...it's GYMNASTICS.)
