The Olympic Games 2008: did china cheat?




The Beijing Olympics 2008 was one of the best games yet for most athletes who competed. USA swimmer Michael Phelps one eight gold medals at the games, which has never been done before. Jamaican runner Usain Bolt ran 9.69 seconds in the 100 meter dash, which absolutely crushed the old world record. Anyway, what i want to talk about is the girls Chinese gymnastics team. There have been reports that the girls on this team were not qualified to enter the Beijing Olympics because they were not of the right age, which is 16. On a website that had been published about one year ago, it said that one of the chinese girls was 14. When authorities checked her passport and birth certificate, it stated that she was 16. Weird huh. What do you think, do you think that the girls cheated or not?

There, I read your chinese post. I don't think they cheated if that is what their birth certifacate said. And watch for homophones. You said "one" instead of "won".
(Totally what Mr. Dye would have said)
