It would behoove you to not be engaged to be married in the next week or so as well. He's ahead of you in that category.

Laughed awhile at that. Touche, my friend. Fiance does let me have my "celeb crushes." She enjoys laughing at me for them.

To be clear, its 9 days now. Whew, it's close, but I'm still too busy to dwell on it. I had to count when you mentioned it, because I barely realized.

As for the Russian, I was saying it because of her dad. Those dudes are bombing the heck out of a little country right now.

Nastia is one event away from the Gold, holding the lead of .15 after three apparatus. Absolutely nailed the landing on her vault for a solid score. Typical greatness on the bars, and beautiful beam routine with a stuck landing to receive the highest score on that event. Only the floor remains. Nail biter...

You are the winner. I'd be surprised if they were even 12. Lucky for them, birth certificates are a government issued document.
Turns out you're not far off. ESPN just dropped this:

Earlier state media report listed gymnast He's age as 13

BEIJING -- Just nine months before the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese government's news agency, Xinhua, reported that gymnast He Kexin was 13, which would have made her ineligible to be on the team that won a gold medal this week.

ESPN is finally getting around to reporting what FOX News and CNN have been reporting for two days.

I was going to add myself that this is somewhat old news. Had any of the young girls topped Liukin or Johnson in the all-around last night, we'd all be hearing this as the top story on all news outlets. As it turns out, the Chinese girls wobbled a bit under the individual pressure. (Expected of a 12- or 13-year old.)

Going forward, the greater crime is the experience that these girls are able to steal by lying (if they are), while only truly being 16 or 17 possibly at the next Olympics.

All I know is in competition she doesnt look too stunning, but in her modeling pictures.... :shock: .... thats something I would sprint home from work for if my car wouldnt start. But seeing her transition from the way she looks while competing and to those pictures makes me wonder what NASTIA could look like in those same circumstances, cause she is a 10 when competing.
