Petugas Olimpiade mengatakan tidak layak untuk mengomentari pernyataan pihak ketiga di saat seperti ini.

Pinsent, mantan IOC (Komite Olimpiade Internasional) dan anggota Asosiasi Olimpiade Britania, merasa anak-anak itu didorong melebihi kemampuan fisik mereka untuk mencapai kesempurnaan.

Dan dia sangat kecewa hal seperti ini dianggap hal yang layak dilakukan.

Pinsent mengatakan, "Saya tahu senam, dan olahraga ini harus dimulai sejak dini, tapi tetap saja, saya sangat terkejut. "

"Saya memang sudah merasa pendekatan ala Barat dengan pendekatan ala Timur sangat berbeda, tapi dalam hal ini, saya berpikir ini adalah penyiksaan.

"Saat saya berbicara dengan para dewan sekolah, mereka bilang memukul adalah melanggar hukum, tapi ada para orang tua yang ingin anak-anaknya dipukul.

"Mereka bilang ini dibutuhkan untuk membuat mereka jadi tegar."

How China Won The Olympics

Have you ever wondered how China won the olympics which had been dominated by The US and Russia all this time? below you'll see the pictures that explain everything.

Olympic legend Sir Matthew Pinsent has been left stunned by the treatment of young gymnasts in Beijing.

Pinsent, who described children in pain while training and claimed a boy had been beaten by his coach, said: "It was a pretty disturbing experience."

Olympic officials said it would be inappropriate to comment on "third hand" remarks at this stage.

Pinsent, a former IOC and current British Olympic Association member, felt children were being pushed beyond acceptable limits in pursuit of excellence.

He was disappointed that it appeared to be regarded as necessary.

Pinsent said: "I know it is gymnastics and that sport has to start its athletes young, but I have to say I was really shocked.

"I was wondering whether the western approach compared to the eastern approach is a bit different, but I do think those kids are being abused.

"When I talked to the vice-principals, they said hitting was against the law, but then there were parents who want you to do it.

"They said this is what they needed to do to make them hard."
