I did it! You may be familiar with the Chinese gymnast age scandal. I'm here to put the story straight. Here's the scoop... I had great aspirations to compete with my nation in these 2008 Beijing Olympics, but the USA would not allow me to participate because I am underage by a few years. As my parents had traveled to Asia last fall and made the acquaintance of a Chinese government official they were privy to an inside tip to fast track me to the Olympiad.
I was able to receive appropriate documentation to falsify my age. You may know me as Eva Bleazard, but my Chinese passport says Lu Xang born May 8, 1991. As an alternate on the Chinese women's gymnastics team I received gold in the medal ceremony following the team competition. Unfortunately my routines would not have been aired on tv.
Balance Hands 16.025 (tenth of a point deduction for drooling)
High Hands 15.725 (deductions for uncontrolled flailing of limbs)
I'm here to say that yes there are underage Chinese gymnasts competing. Our underdeveloped bones and muscles make us nimble and the short stature lowers our center of gravity. It's been a great run though. To hear more about my amazing story I will be interviewing with Matt Lauer on the Today show tomorrow morning. Check me out!
