No Olympic Repeat: Hamm's Dream Shattered!
Sooooooo close to the medals, yet so far away.
Unfortunately for gymnast Paul Hamm, his dreams of making it to the Olympics to defend his all-around men's gymnastics title have vanished.
After making such a quick comeback from the broken bone in his hand, Hamm has had to drop out, he announced Monday.
One of the team's three alternates will take his spot in the squad.
In a statement, Hamm said, “I have put my heart and soul into my comeback and done everything I could to get ready in time to compete in Beijing. After returning home from the preparation camp, I had a few physical setbacks, and it became clear to me that my physical preparations would not be sufficient to properly represent the United States and contribute to the teams efforts to win a medal.”
We give him credit. At least his team will have a better chance of winning this way.
Miles Avery, Hamm's coach, says “Two weeks ago, he was great, he was awesome and did everything he needed to do to be at the Olympics. But I was saying all along that he needed to rest. But he pushed it.”
Hamm broke the fourth metacarpal in his right hand back in May. As a result, he needed surgery and had a plate and nine screws inserted.
Ouch!
Sux for him.

Aw thats sad. Least he's thinking of the team and not just himself.
Aw thats sad. Least he's thinking of the team and not just himself.
I fucked him. He's gay as all male gymnasts are.
aww
Gah! Kiss a gold in the men's goodbye!
shame more chance 4 team GB!!!!
WOOOO
many in the community believe that paul is actually being quite selfish. if he didn't believe that he could WIN the all around he wouldn't compete at the olympics.
I banged him with my pecker cuz he's gay like all male gymnasts… Everyone knows that they are all gay. Especially Paul Hamm. Have u ever heard him talk in his high pitched nasal voice! He is soooo gay sounding! He sounds like Keri Strug! LOL
FIRST
aww!
That's too bad
but great that he ddn't just continue on anf fuck his hand up worse 
AWWWWW
FGERUIH
… in other words, he failed his steroids screening by the us olympic org too close to the actual contest so they pulled him out so as not to embarass the country in front of the entire world.
oh my.
fuck him, team GB r gonna piss all over the yanks!!!!!!
aw at least its not cuz hes a stoner like that other dum chic from us that wanted to be a swimmer… beotch
Sucks for the men's team. There go their medal hopes!
Maybe this will make USA Gymnastics rethink how they screwed some of the other athletes out of spots on the team, with the assumption that Paul would contribute more than his fair share…
who cares…he didn't really win the Gold at the last Olympics…a math error scored him higher and he REFUSED to give it back once it was revealed he didn't win….he sounds like a cartoon anyways
His homo ass needs to get a wig soon…. Paula Hamm is balding and balding fast! He also has a firecrotch just like Lohan! EWWW! He is one of the first openely gay men on the gymnastics team for men… He is kinda fem but hey when u finally have the courage to be who u are I guess it's ok… Not like we all didn't know he was gay as most male gymnasts are gay just like iceskaters. I wonder if he shot his cum in Blaine Wilson's bunghole! haha
A few weeks ago I saw him and his brother at the local Hoggys in Columbus, OH. They were pretty much keeping to themselves. I tried to take a picture since we obviously have no other celebs here. Our waitress said he was a bad tipper.
Re: BEV – TOO RIGHT!!
He is a brat and SOOOO annoying to listen to when he talks… He really only came back into the sport to try and win the allaround again becuz he knew that last time in 2004 that it didn't really count and his medal from 04 was tarnished. Now he'll always and only be remembered for that now that he can't go to this olympics. No one really ever liked him anyway much. So who cares.. No one watches mens gymnastics… only womens. mens gym is gay.
Re: blah – totally agree. He fell bigtime and his medal really didn't count and was such a tarnished thing. Everyone knows that he never won. No one did. There basically was no olympic champion that year cuz of how screwed up it was. Haha
"Quick comeback"…hmmm…sounds like he could not get those steroids out of his system in time.
he sucked my dick and he liked it!!!
Re: Ash – I heard he bangs his brother and that they have insest sex all the time! EWWW!
well, shit, he didn't rightfully win that medal the first time. looks like karma strikes again!
I couldn't be more happy to hear the news that Paul Hamm got injured! Haha! Serves him right! I never liked his attitude or anything about him. He is a horrible person and deserves to not go to another olympics. He will only be known for a tarnished medal in 2004.. hahaha. And he'll also be known for being one of the gayest gymnasts EVER! It's funny how him and his brother after taking steroids u think their voices would lower! they are so high pitched!
i'd still bang his brains out. he's a hot piece of ass.
Re: david – agree! He totally NEVER won that medal outright and he knows it… Or should I say SHE! haha… Paula Hamm! LOL
Re: david – Eww.. He only liked black men to bang his homo ass and he has alot of diseases and his hole is really loose from letting the whole usa gymnastics team gang bang him and shoot their cum in his ass. He drips blood and cum all over and THAT is why he can't go to the olympics cuz his arse is too sore from being banged and fisted! I heard Blaine Wilson even put a 2 liter coke bottle up his hole! Paul is just a washed up fag now.. haha
At least this poor sucker won't die from lung cancer from breathing in the Beijing air.
The world needs a whole lot more important things than circuses anyway.
peace
PS: Free Omar Kadhr!
Um, … he needs some rogaine… PRONTO!
Gawd he sure is ugly… He looks wAY older than he is… Must be all the roids.
Re: gymns – If you read t he post correctly, you would understand that he's not competing in the olympics. He is giving up his spot so someone else can compete.
He is just mad cuz everyone knows that he didn't win the gold medal outrite in 2004 and that is why he tried to come back and now he will never be the olympics champion.
Jesus Perez!!!!!! You need to hide yourself, that is the shittest cribs episode ever. Stick to blogging, you have no talent. I expected a lot better crib than a dull, hideous, tiny closet you call and apartment. And your MOM!!!, is that really your mom or your dad, I could not tell if that was a man or woman. You got the poor dude cleaning your apartment you pig. Being on crib was a big mistake. Now everyone knows how shitty your life is and why you are so mean to other people. No wonder you turned out gay, you think your DAD is your mom!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha
He looks GAY as hell! lol
I wonder how many men he has bent over for. HAHA
does he actually have eyes….surely he should be in the paras…thats some fucking disability
Who the hell is this Paul Hamm? And can he not open his eyes? Is he part asian?
I think Paul is gonna crossover now and do gay porn… Him and his twin brother I have heard are gonna do it together on video and bang each other! But now that Paul might be hiv positive I am not sure if they can do it bareback or not in the video… We'll soon find out when it hits the net!
He looks like Corky. Does he have Downs Syndrome? Maybe he should complete in the Special Olympics.
see yah fucktards i am on vacation t'ill next week!
He only won in 2004 due to a mathematical error. Karma is a bitch
Re: KITTY – LOL! LOL! OMG YOUR FUCKING hillarious! He totally DOES look like a tard doesn't he! I think he has aids and down syndrome! he should compete in the tard olympics as well as the hiv olypmpics….. haha
oh no! Paul Hamm! he's too awesome =[
he's hot!!!!
Dang, you are all haters. The Hamm brothers hail from my City, Waukesha, Wisconsin. (pronounced Wau-kee-shaw) They come from a honest, down to earth hardworking family. They attended the local high school, Waukesha South until their gymnastics prevented them from attending conventional schools. Their parents busted their asses to enable their sons to be gymnists and damn good ones I might add. Paul has been out of the "lime light" because he was getting a college degree on Ohio. Why should he be a huge tipper, he is not made of millions, he is from a medium sized town in Wisconsin, he is not Brad Pitt. Maybe the service sucked, ever think of that haters?
Instead of thinking he is selfish perhaps he is being selfLESS by giving someone else the opportunity to reach the dream of GOLD. If he is not 100% then he is thinking of others and giving someone else the opportunity.
that's too bad.
I bet his farts are stinky…
Re: trin – I bet he was at least 69 %…. as in 69 percent GAY! LOL! I heard that his mom stole money from a church to help him with his training… And it was in the paper that his dad had an affair with a married woman and got her pregnant and then left her after that! That is NOT the american way. Then there is the fact that Paul is a raging homosexual… so your claims that they are all american hard working is a bunch of poo…
Re: pina – and if that's your picture YOU are NOT HOT.. lol.. u look like a worm that just got stepped on by Carnie Wilson…
yawn
Paul hamm is a total looser.
That sucks! I remember watching him in the last Olympics and I even saw the commercial with him in it the other day.
Re: pigs – Please, please, please tell me where you read all of this interesting news. The local newspaper here would have been all over that.. I have never heard of such of thing or read about it. I could care less if the guy is gay or not, that has nothing to do with it.
Re: pigs – If you can find me one article on any of the things you claim to have heard I will apologize and keep my mouth shut from now on.
Has anyone considered that the whole 'anti-inflammatory" drug thing is more than just an "anti-inflammatory" drug???? Perhaps that is the reason for skipping out… cant clear his system.
i love him. male gymnasts are soo hot.
This guy is a douche.!!!
He and his brother bottom for the whole team!!
They LOVE getting butt fucked. Who can blame them?
They've got incredibly hot butts.
Kyle Shoefelt of Canada hopes to defend his gold medal on floor ex in Beijing and he shattered BOTH of his legs less than a year ago. How is it Paul only broke a hand bone and can't compete.
One thing I will say is Kyle took the advice of his coaches and doctors VERY seriously and did not push his body past it's limits. You have to listen to the sage advice of those who have your best interests at heart. He didn't even compete at nationals because he didn't want to push it. Perhaps there's some arrogance at play here on Paul's part. When dealing with serious medical issues you do as you're told by doctors etc.
Re: jill –
and if you knew anything about the team and his situation you would know that he would be good enough to compete on at least 4 events that would contribute to the team considerably. he was heard at olympic trials saying that if he couldn't win the all around gold in beijing he didn't want to compete at the olympics. it was all about PAUL and NOT team USA.

Re: Butt –
i'd fuck him and his brother's asses until they shot cum out their assholes. i have a big dick, so i know they will.
Re: beck – it is doubtful that it is more than just an anti-inflammatory drug — but just to clarify that it was his brother Morgan that tested positive and not paul.
Was it his jerking off hand that was injured?
Ow that's gotta suck, to have to switch hands!!!!!!!!
Talented gymnast — whiny, spineless man. Good riddance. Problem is, his less talented but equally whiny twin — who failed his doping test — is on the team only because Paul said, "I'll go to Beijing ONLY if I can compete all around, and if my brother can come, and if… if… I get a cookie!" Joke's on the US!
Oh wow, a GAY GYMNAST!
Can you just imagine the possibilities????
SHould I say, gay gymnAASSST?

that sucks… i'm dissapointed!
Re: old – If any of those dudes took steroids they'd be so pumped up and stiff they couldn't do all that crazy shit they do. I've been behind-the-scenes with the USA national team and believe me, their lives are hard work and pain. Lots of medicinal stuff and vitamins and massages and ice and pain relievers - but no juice.
Paul Hamm is such a wimpy lame ass gymnast!!!
.
.
He is one of the most undeserving and over-rated Olympic All Around gold medalists there has ever been. He has a warped sense of his worth as an athlete…does this little shit stain really think that he is the best in the world? NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
.
.
you would think that will all his "success" he would be able to afford a real hair cut!…it's time for his mommy to hang up her scissors and stop giving him the tragic "bowl cut"?
what's with his eyes??
Re: puppies are soft! – He's trying to hide the fact that he's going bald I think is why he has the awful haircut and it's no excuse! Mommy should be fired for sure! I agree! He's a dumb bitch anyway and no one cares about him anyway…
I could care less if he is gay, pitcher or catcher or what kind of a tipper he is, the fact he accepted the gold medal knowing he didn't have the best gold medal score/performance is a disgrace. He knew it and never handed it back. Disgusting athelete.
Re: Good – It's good to know that others share the same opinion as I do…can you believe that he still thinks that he's the best male gymnast in the world?!
.
.
I personally think that he's as healthy as ever…he finally realized that he is a sub-par talentless gymnast who would be embarrassed if he were to try competing on the world/Olympic stage once again…
Re: puppies are soft! – totally agree… He's nothing. No one even cares about him and he knows he is no good anymore and THAT is why he's not going. He just can't compete with the worlds best anymore becuz he is NOT that good anymore….
