    Those Chinese are just very amoral sometimes. They have now exploited this poor little girl. It’s child labor at this most hidden. He Kexin is no more that 12 years old. Her hip and muscular structure are those of a very young girl. China should immediately give back the gold medals and remove the entire cheating Chinese gymnastics teams. Of course, the Chinese Gymnastics coach will have make a full apology to the world. He may have been under intense political pressure to win gold. I feel sorry for him. He will probably be sent to a prison camp for humiliating the government.
