I can't honestly claim to be a gymnastics fan, but even I was captivated by Olga Korbut in 1972. Prior to the Munich Olympics, the world's dominant female gymnasts were mature, balletic-type women. Korbut ushered in the era of pixie-like pubescent teenage gymnasts.

Fascinating footage of women's gymnastics from the 1936 Berlin Olympics. It looks like slow motion compared to what gymnastics became in the 1970s.

Olympic gymnastics rules mandate that competitors must be at least 16 years old. Severe doubts surrounded the true age of many members of the gold-medal-winning female Chinese gymnastics team in 2008. Here is a photo of the Chinese team and the American team on the podium. Call me cynical and suspicious, but the adolescent American girls look way older than their Chinese rivals.
