Yea Paul

Well Paul Hamm won one of the most fun Olympic event finals I have ever seen. He fell, and came back performed great. It isn't so much that he won the gold (although - AWESOME!),but that he knocked down 2 killer routines in doing it. And he did those after taking a horrible digger on the vault.

It looked even worse after the Romanian hit the same vault right after him.

But Paul popped up on both the parallel bars and high bar and did quick sets that were impossibly difficult. He didn't throw in extra rotations, in went from trick to trick (which ups the score). He was brilliant.

And surpised he won! (picture from REUTERS/Jeff J Mitchell) Totally fun.
