“Youth in Asia” or “What Do You a Want, a Medal?”

The International Olympic Committee stripped China of its 2000 Olympic bronze medal for gymnastics, after an investigation proved that one of their athletes had been too young to compete. This brings shame upon China, but not its athletes for the next Olympics, because they haven’t been born yet.

Questions arose about the age of China’s gymnasts at the 2008 Games, but investigators didn’t get to interview them, because the athletes’ mommies and daddies don’t let them talk to strangers.
