So, how old *are* the Chinese gymnasts?`

Hi,

Look at it like this. If those gymnasts are to young, they are even more AMAZING to be able to compete with the best in the world who are years (and puberty) ahead of them.

Not really. As has already been said, the body proportion of pre-pubescent girls is an advantage in gymnastics. Which, of course, would be the reason for cheating on the age in the first place. It is unusual, to say the least, to find someone cheating in order to gain a disadvantage.
