I saw a new piece about a chinese news clip about a girl named x who was 13, just won a regional competition in the last year, she looks just like one of the 16 year olds. I also heard the talking head that mentioned young teens don't grasp the importance of the situation, they just focus on having fun and trying to win. So they don't tense up.
The ones who are winning gold are about 14 or 15, the ones who are been given Gold by the judges are about 18. All Chinese:hihi:
