This is so blown out of proportion! Obviously 14-year-old girls are the only ones with the natural flexibility to excel at gymnastics!!!

An observation: There is a direct correlation between how young the Chinese gymnast looks and the quantity of make-up/glitter/padding in their leotard used. You will see truth in my words next time you watch.

this is the gymnast people believe is only 14-years-old, He Kexin. 14 or 16 i think the more important question is what are these girls taking to stunt their growth???? jesas

Chinese gymnasts in normal clothes. They look about 12 years old.
