And now it seems that Chinese Gymnasts are under age. More cheating by the hosts?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/olympics/article4578241.ece

One thing that's bugging me is that Tom Daley (14 I believe) was allowed to compete. Is it different for divers?

Seems to relate only to gymnasts
Quote
The minimum age for female gymnasts was increased from 14 to 15 in 1981, and up to 16 in 1997.
It followed criticism that young girls were being pushed too hard when their bodies were still growing - causing permanent health problems.

I thought they were more worried about them being pulled?

Anyway, it never did that Olga Korbut any harm.

I, and I alone, discovered a small alteration in the settings made by Boy or Boy Unknown

And how many new accounts on here did you end up making before realising it was a PC setting and not something on this site  point:
