1 China entered Dong Fangxiao into the 2000 Olympics under a birth date of 20 January 1983, which would have made her 17. [3] [4] However, when she obtained accreditation to work as a technical official at the Beijing Olympics eight years later, she gave her birth date as 23 January 1986, which would have made her 14 and too young to compete. [3] [4] In 2010, the International Gymnastics Federation concluded that Dong had been born in 1986 and revoked the bronze medal she won with the Chinese team in Sydney. [5]
