Those little Chinese girls in the Olympics gymnastics competition? The question isn’t whether they’re 16 as the rules dictate, the question is whether they’re 12, as I think they are, or 13, as Vancouver Sun columnist Pete McMartin thinks they are.
IOC launches probe into age of Chinese double gold medallist
As for Canada’s standings, I’m glad we’ve picked up a few more. Unfortunately, we’re still tied with Ethiopia in 17th place in terms of gold medal wins, but over at NBC’s site (my preferred list), we’re in 13th place because they measure it in terms of total medals. Unfortunately, that puts us behind Cuba and Ukraine, but fortunately, just ahead of that huge powerhouse Belarus. And by the way, the NBC list indicates that in total medals, the USA is the clear winner with 102 medals compared to China’s 89.
