Oxygen also has some events. That is where the equestrian events were shown and where the synchronized swimming is.

I also find the US's way of ranking by total number of medals quite silly. The rest of the world ranks by gold medals first.

So they are investigating the Chinese gymnasts age's now as they should. If it's found out about one gymnast in particular china would lose two golds and the US would gain two.

Yeah but the Chinese goverment intentionally changed the birth dates on their passports, and just about everything else that had the gymnast's names on it after the IGF asked for more papers proving ages.

Why not you think they are too cool to do that? I mean people take steroids even though they know they can't why not change the dates of a few passports.
