I had a look at the photos and I can't make up my mind how old she is, she doesn't look much younger than the other gymnasts stood on the podium. Gymnasts are generally so petite that they all look about twelve to me, anyway.
it's a nice thought... but rules are rules and if you make the exception for her... what about everyone else who followed the rules? What about others who have broken other rules? should they just be overlooked because they were good enough? It sets a precedent and that could lead to a whole bunch of problems.

Yeah it's really hard to tell with some of those girls how old they really are. they are all so petite.
