Did anyone else notice during all the gymnastics competitions that it listed various gymnasts ages under 16?? I was under the impression that you had to be 16 to compete. More than a few times it listed medal winners from all countries as 14 and 15. I was watching the NBC HD broadcast from Oklahoma. Anyone shed light on this one? I'm surprsed no one has brought this up....
 
I didn't see any 14 year old gymnasts but 15 is okay so long as they will turn 16 during 2008. That means that a 15-year-old with a December 31st birthday is age-eligible to compete.
