Judges Fail To Notice Tiny Gymnast On Balance Beam

13 Inch Fee Fi Fo has been overlooked her whole life, but even she was shocked when she was informed that her entire balance beam routine had to be repeated Tuesday night because the judges could not see her. The panel of six judges eventually moved their chairs to within 5 feet of the apparatus, allowing them a clear and unobstructed view of the diminutive Fo. Fo, who is shipped to events in a Pringles can, is the smallest member of the Chinese women's team, which also features Ti Nee Wan, a 19 inch uneven bars specialist. Fo was taken from her family at the age of 2 days and began practicing at 1 week.
