About 2 Gymnasts... 

KT showed me these 2 articles and I found them to be interesting.

There's already an issue about Paul Hamm's gold medal in the all-around competition. Basically, the Koreans are protesting about the oversight in Yang Tae's scoring potential. Because of that, people are telling Paul Hamm to be the bigger man and just give the gold medal to Yang, even though the world would know that Paul had won the gold. However, Paul is adamant that he should keep the gold.

Hamm Should Give Up the Gold

Like I said, Paul would seem like the bigger man if he gave the gold to Yang. However, the Koreans had a chance to protest the scores while the apparatus competition was open. Once that particular apparatus is closed, the opportunity to protest is gone. So...what do you think?

I had posted an article previously about Khorkina's bitterness losing to Carly Patterson. However, with more and more interviews, she seems to be more bitter and negative towards Carly in regards to the all-around competition. Khorkina believes scoring should be based on gracefulness rather than skills. Well, well, well...
