Revisiting Past Age Falsifications

[youwannacranson]

I've also always found it interesting that He Kexin wasn't sent to 2007 Worlds. In 2003 & 2007 gymnasts turning senior in 2004 & 2008 were able to compete at Worlds for experience and to help the Olympic teams they'd be eligible for qualify

Her 2007 bars was very competitive, but It was said she was only recruited to the NT that year which is why she didn't go. Contradicting this, there's a video of her with the rest of the junior NT in 2006

Something else to remember is Dong Fangxiao wasn't caught until summer of 2008, so there was no reason not to up until then (He's likely being changed in very early 2008)

Kim Gwang-suk clearly wasn't destined for a long career, but dang, what talent.

As for the 2008 Olympics, i was surprised Team GB didn't pitch a bigger fit about the obvious age falsification since they were the ones most likely to lose a medal due to it (and did by .025.)
