Cool. :victory:

They're showing women's gymnastics... And none of the Chinese girls, er, women, look like they're of the minimum age.... 16. :sweat:

Hmm.

Hmm.

They were chosen BECAUSE OF their size, height, vitalstatistics (or lack thereof) etc.

Yeah, you don't see many 6' 4" gymnasts, ne?

And let's face it, China has a decent population to draw from :)

Yeah.

Ice hockey isn't big in Australia: It's not really cold enough for many people to even ice skate, the only places where it's cold enough are ski resorts. And there's very few ice rinks (or whatever you call 'em) anywhere else :)

Men's synchronized diving.... Not as interesting as the women's.

China is dominating as usual.
