The women's team of Dong Fangxiao, Huang Mandan, Kui Yuanyuan, Ling Jie, Liu Xuan, and Yang Yun were also awarded the Bronze medal in Artistic gymnastics. Subsequent investigation determined that Dong Fangxiao was younger (at age 14) than the required minimum age of 16 during the year of the games. As a result, the IOC stripped the team of its Bronze medal in April 2010.[2]
