Yes, I thought Alicia Sacramone, the one gymnast from Massachusetts that basically lost the gold for the US, was very, very dignified and gracious. First the reporters were seemingly trying to get her to feel even worse than she already did about the US not getting gold because of her fall. She was calm, held it together, and spoke about the team, and winning the silver despite all the injuries.

Then, one reporter asked her about the stories that some of the Chinese gymnasts looked younger than 16. She calmly replied that no one outside of gymnastics ever believes her when she says she is 20 years old either, and she refused to take the reporter's bait.

When you realize how Nastia Lukin "towers over" all the other gymnasts, and then learn that she is all of 5' 3", you know these are all small young women, and are going to have a hard time being taken seriously until they are old enough to have grey hair. My cousin, who is maybe 5'3" (in heels) and in her twenties could easily "diet down" to a size zero, used to be asked for ID when she ordered an alcoholic drink even when she was 25 years old, which often mortified her dates!
