China FINALLY loses 2000 Bronze medal

Gymnastics Examiner:

Wednesday night, the 2000 U.S. Olympic team — Tasha Schwikert, Elise Ray, Kristen Maloney, Dominique Dawes, Jamie Dantzscher, Amy Chow — received in Hartford the bronze medals they had earned in Sydney. …

The U.S. was awarded the bronze in April after a lengthy investigation by the IOC and International Gymnastics Federation concluded that China’s Dong Fangxiao, who was supposedly 17 in 2000, was actually 14. …

Ten years after the fact, the 2000 women’s Olympic team receives their bronze medal

Reaction has been mixed. Many people, including me, are more interested in the consequences of China losing than the USA winning the team medal.

Will this prevent future age falsification?

… Let’s see what happens at the Youth Olympic Games.

Agreeing with Jim. I don’t know what you can do to stop it.

Saw the interview with Dantzsher. What a whiner. Shame, she has such a nice figure.
