Yang Yun: China's Olympic Deceit

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, questions arose regarding five of the six women on China's gymnastics team. Evidence surfaced which indicated that the Chinese government many have falsified the athletes' passports to pass the girls off as sixteen - the minimum age required for Olympic gymnastic competition. While the International Gymnastic Federation continues its investigation into the allegations, additional evidence has come to light which illustrates China's habitual deceit and manipulation of the truth. That evidence is presented here, translated for the first time into English, so the world can decide. The setting is the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, where Yang Yun, an inexperienced Chinese gymnast won medals & captured hearts by surprisingly competing head-to-head against gymnastics legend, Svetlana Khorkina. Yang Yun's passport said she was sixteen. Yang Yun says she was fourteen. In this interview produced by state-run Chinese television, the truth finally comes forward behind the curtain of manipulation, misinformation, and deception.
