Be honest with yourself for a second here DDD. Can you imagine the thought "man, I would have won if it hadn't been for Hannah Montana there and her eleventeen year old band of thugs" actually crossing your mind? The Olympics are about putting the best athletes in competition with each other and seeing who comes out on top. I understand there's a reason girls under 16 can't compete and I can see that costing China their win. But, as an athlete I want to know I beat the best. That gold would never feel good to me because I'd know I got it on a technicality after losing in head to head competition.
