It appears the US girls gymnastics team are there of their own volition.  I was listening to commentary of the Chinese women's synchronized swimming team (weirdest. sport. ever.) and they were talking about how one member was punished for crying because she hadn't been allowed to see her parents in 12 years.  Might be propaganda.  Might be true.
