I know this is suspended but to be devils advocate what would happen if they have say 101 medals and then they are stripped of theii medals in the gymnastics when those 2 gymnists are deteremind to be under 16?

Yes, or say they win 99 medals and after a while they win 1 bronze medal more with a fourth place athlete as another athlete is stripped of its medal for whatever reason.
