But they are. The IOC has seen her passport that shows she was born on 1/1/1992.
Yes, because the Chinese authorities would issue a passport and I'm sure they would have no interest in winning another gold medal simply by using one different digit on a passport!

Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I was being sarcastic. I know it's the lowest form of wit, but sometimes it's appreciated and amuses..
