国际体操联合会裁定，今年参加北京奥运的中国女体操选手符合参赛年龄。位于瑞士洛桑的体操管理机构星期三做出了这项宣布，此前对中国体操选手的年龄进行了五个半星期的调查。
国际体操联合会的声明说，这项裁定是根据从中国体操协会收到的官方文件做出的，包括护照、身份证和户口。
不过，国际体操联合会继续就曾经参加2000年悉尼奥运会的两名中国体操选手的年龄进行调查。声明说，该机构认为有关方面迄今提供的解释和证据不能令人满意。
The International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG) has ruled that the Chinese women gymnasts at this year’s Beijing Olympics were old enough to compete. The Lausanne, Switzerland based gymnastics governing body made the announcement Wednesday, after a five and one-half week investigation into the ages of the Chinese gymnasts.
In a statement, the FIG said its decision was based on official documents it received from the Chinese Gymnastics Association, including passports, identity cards and Household Registers.
However the gymnastics organization is continuing its investigation into the ages of two Chinese gymnasts (Dong Fangxiao and Yang Yun) who competed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The statement said the FIG does not consider the explanations and evidence provided to date as satisfactory.
