INTERNATIONAL skating officials said they have found no discrepancies in the birthdates of three Chinese figure skaters - including 2006 Olympic pairs silver medalists Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao.
Spokeswoman Selina Vanier said the birthdates listed on the Chinese Olympic Committee's website for the Zhangs and female singles skater Xu Binshu match the information held by the International Skating Union.
Skaters must fill out registration forms before competing at international events, and that information is checked against their passports.
Vanier said five other skaters whose eligibility was questioned based on a list of birthdates published on the Chinese skating federation's website were not on the Chinese Olympic Committee site.
