Chinese officials on Monday denied reports that a female gymnast had been entered for the Beijing Olympics despite being under the minimum age of 16.

Media reports in the U.S., citing online registration records, said China team member Yang Yilin was still 14. The report came a week after accusations that her team mates He Kexin and Jiang Yuyuan were also under 16.

International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) rules state athletes have to turn 16 during an Olympic year to compete at the Games.
