Paul Hamm a spoiled jerk? Please. He didn't deserve the gold or silver? Well, he did fall on the vault, but he had outstanding routines on apparatus that the others did not do as well in. Now, if you want to argue that, fine. It is a very subjective thing.

But if you are going to review the merits of the scoring after the fact, keep in mind that they also did not deduct an extra hold position of the South Korean gymnast. That would have been a deduction of 2/10 of a point. You are only allowed three hold positions, and he clearly had 4. That is an automatic deduction, not a subjective ruling.

No, he should not give the medal back, and I'm sure he's as nice a guy as anyone on this board.
