Olympic Issues

Okay. I know I've already posted something today, but I've got a problem. If I have to look at the puny Chinese diver Wang Xin one more time, I think I'm gonna be sick. The child is 16 (barely) years old and weighs in at a mere 62lbs. 62! My 5 year old weighs 58! Since when is malnurishment a good thing to teach our young athletes? I have become a believer that if an Olympian were to be checked out by a doctor and found to be severly underweight they should not be allowed to participate.
I mean come on...62 lbs?
I'm done ranting now.
