if this was some beer pong event, maybe it wouldnt matter, but it is the Olympics, so yes.
If the minimum age is 16, and you are training 12 years olds that compete at 14, yes it makes a difference.
we are specifically talking about very small petite gymnasts, there is a huge difference between 13 years olds and 16 year olds when it comes to development. The girls were all underage, not over age...
rules are rules, she is 14, they find small girls to train as children, and then compete them , its against the rules.
