Gymnast He Kexin is 16. But 9 months ago she was 13. Weird.

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

Of course they do this! It’s extra sad when an underage gymnast has to be executed for a less than 10 score.

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