With all this controversy about how the judges made scoring mistakes during the Men's Gymnastics All-Around, and how Paul Hamm shouldn't have gotten the gold....it's very tiring and stressful.

Do you think Paul should keep his Gold or not?

Everywhere you go, people will say, "There goes the man who gave up his medal, not because he had to, but because it was the right thing to do."

Do you have any idea how much that’s worth? Hamm doesn’t. Otherwise, he would have done it already. Wait long enough, and all people will say is, "There goes the guy who had to be shamed into doing the right thing."



Now if you're totally lost...details

nope, i think that the south kroeans were totally ripped off. the International Gymnastics Federation admitted to not giving Yang Tae-young(s. korean gymnast, bronze medal) enough points for the level of difficulty on the parallel bars. if it wasnt for them making that mistake he would have gotten the gold instead of bronze. its really messed up. and what was with that score they gave hamm on the vault!? he frekkin landed on his butt and like into the judges table and they still gave him over a 9.0! i did gymnastics for a long time and i know that you get a HUGE deduction for even a hop or step. no matter what the level of difficulty was, he didnt stick it and did not deserve that score. but hey thats just my opinion. its not his fault, its the judges. dont get me wrong, i support and root for america all the way but im also half korean, so i did get pretty heated about the whole situation :\

YESS. TOTALLY. i saw this one korean guy on the rings.. WOW. he was good. wink.gif they are totally skilled at gymastics...


ive been watching paul hamm for a while now.. hes good. but the asians are better. but hes good. happy.gif
