The final Chinese National Team:

Deng Linlin
He Kexin
Huang Qiushuang
Sui Lu
Yao Jinnan

Alright, folks. Was He Kexin's selection the right move for China?
 
Nothing wrong with taking a veteran medalist for the nostalgia and team atmosphere! Cough, cough, Sacramone.
 
Wow, what an experienced team. No age controversy this time. And if Yao can hit, should make for a very interesting AA final!
 
I think this team shows that China really is trying to fix their underage gymnast image. But also, they had an semi-injured vet and a young headcase also in the running. I really thought the last spot was going to go to Tan Sixin, but I guess they are going with the chance for an individual medal if He Kexin can hit her three routines.
 
Even if you go by the latest birthdate ever put out there for He Kexin(which I think is Jan. 1st, 1994), it put her at 14 and 1/2 in Beijing, which would make her 18 and 1/2 now.
