There is actually a bit of a controversy over that, but the thing is that apparently all the Olympic committee asks for to prove age is a government issued ID. Since the Chinese government really wants to win alot of medals, I doubt there is much that can be done.

The Chinese are just too good at this.

I was just curious to know what you guys thought of the Olympics so far?

Personally I've enjoyed every minute that I've watched. Especially Men's basketball, and the swimming competetions. Track and Field hasn't even started yet, so it's going to be great for the rest of the way in my opinion.

I've found it enjoyable so far. I sometimes get that Hollywood-mind where I expect everything to be filled with drama, emotion and ending in a spectacular manner that I get disappointed at times when it doesn't happen. I try to control that and enjoy the show since it did have some great moments.

I've really enjoyed the Olympics so far. Especially the swimming and the cycling. Michael Phelps has made things a lot more exciting.

I've really enjoyed swimming and women's gymnastics.

I watched a cycling race that was in the rain that seemed pretty cool to me. The top three dominated it.

And the U.S. owns women's volleyball yet again....

I watched the women's beach volleyball yesterday. The Americans just dominated there oppenent. I think they'll win the gold medal. It will be very hard to beat this team. One of the players, I believe it's Walsh is very tall, and when she goes for the block or the spike, she usually gets the point. IT was pretty entertaining.

Yeah, they've won over 100 consecutive matches and haven't lost in over a year. It would be a shock if they don't bring home the gold.
