Brazilian sports site UOL Esporte has posted a few facts about the meeting which are not mentioned on the FIG's site. According to UOL Esporte, a proposal to lower the minimum age for women's competitions (submitted by the United States!) was rejected. The minimum age for participation in senior competitions will remain sixteen.

The FIG also rejected a proposal by Italy to increase the number of teams participating in the Olympics from 12 to 16, and threatened eleven national federations with suspension if they did not pay their debts soon.

Finally, according to the Brazilian report, the FIG is looking into raising the uneven bars by ten centimetres if the average height of the gymnasts demands this.

"Хороший" пример к тому, как информация искажается, если пропускать через посредника. Сейчас это всё есть на странице ФИЖ-а, только не "to lower the minimum age for women's competitions", а только для чемпионатов мира; не "threatened", a это стандардная процедура по уставу, про которую все знают; "the FIG is looking into raising the uneven bars by ten centimetres if the average height of the gymnasts demands this" - ничего подобного, не "average height" a "height of certain gymnasts".
