So it’s Sunday night and I turned on NBC to see what they had cooking for me, and it was 2 things so far:
The Synchronized Diving thing…Which the American Women won their first metal ever! High five
And
Women’s Gymnastics. Now let me start by saying I know exactly 0 about women’s gymnastics, and gymnastics in general so I did a little bit of research. Turns out during these games the host country is accused of fibbing a bit to get one of their “women” on the team. The Olympic rules state that the competitors have to be 16 years old in the year of the games, and check this yo:
Read their whole article here: NY Times Article and Pictures
The summary is this, the girl in the picture is a girl the Chinese claim to be 17, but different lists have her to be 14 years of age.
Can I say something here? If you are going to lie about someone’s age, don’t be crazy and lie too old, McLovins of the world I’m looking in your direction.
The secret to being a good liar is lying just close enough to the truth that no one can reasonably call you on it! Come on China! I don’t know jack about gymnastics, but I know people, and she is probably 14.
Now on to team America (F*** Yeah!) that I happen to know exactly nothing about, but after doing some research (Read: Watched the event) I’ve found that I have been missing out.
Meet: Alicia Sacramone
Age: 20 (Born December 3, 1987)
Hot chick…and apparently a gymnast.

So yeah, that’s what I got out of the games today.
Working hard and Hardly Working!
