Did anyone see Paul Hamm's golden comeback performance |
|
tonight? Pretty amazing- the guy takes a serious fall early in the competition, drops to 12th place, then battles his way back to squeak by the Koreans for the gold in the very last event. He won by 12 thousandths of a point.
Choked me up pretty good.

3. That was back in 94, though... |

Was that their dad, maybe?

4. Well, if it's any consolation, it must be the dad. |
|
There's no way Morgan Hamm, the olympian, made the donation back in '94...he would have been 11!

I've noticed that most gymnasts have a voice like they've been breathing helium, or are just extremely nasal sounding. Listen to these people more closely...Shannon Miller, Tim Daggett, Elfi Schlegel, Bart Connor...I almost think it must be something in their development that screws with the voice...like permanent puberty or something...very strange.

9. I figured there would have to be some commonality.... |
|
the similarities have been just too obvious.
Has your kid had any breathing problems because of this?

Paul Hamm was awesome. His father contributing to a repuke doesn't take away from that at all!
