It is one of the problems with gymnastics. The playing field is never level. You all know what I'm talking about and it begins from day 1 on team. There is favouritism, there are the kids who do tons of privates, there is the gym whose girls train up and compete way down to win, there are the known gyms who always seem to do well even when it looks as though their skills are lower than your girls. There are the level 4/5/6's who train 20+ hours a week when your gymmie can only do 12.
Then there is the highly politicized selection system for elite gym, who decides who makes it and what do the girls have to endure to see their dream, how many injuries did our Olympic Team have by the time the closing ceremonies arrived?
There just is no fair or equal, so the Chinese are just another straw on the camels back. The question is, do you let it break it, or do you keep trying to support for the love of it?
I to am saddened at the result, but to be honest I didn't think they would step in and remove medals.

It is a shame, though....as pointed out, it certainly did not/does not bring HONOR to their country.
