I think the decision to award Hamm is not the right one.Michael deserved that one a lot more, besides I think the following statement is entirely pathetic:"Hamm also withstood a challenge by South Korea claiming that the gold medal should be awarded to Yang Tae-Young after it was discovered he was incorrectly scored during the all-around final."So now he is being awarded for holding on to the medal that someone else should have won due to the outrageous mistake.He acted like a little boy who sneaked someone else's candy and was reluctant to give it away even when caught.I think he should have given the medal to the sout korean.
And then it is Michael PHelps: not only did he haul a miriad of medals and set a world record, but also showed the spirit of sportsmanship by letting his team mate(Ian Crocker) have a chance at the medal on the relay team...

Well....I think it's gone far beyond just the point of hatred now hasn't it??? (J/k of course)
I am supposing your disagreement with me is ONLY over the issue of who deserves the award between Micheal and Paul?....b/c on the other issue of whether or not Paul deserved the Gold Medal.....I believe the stance I took in my original posting is in concordance with yours....right?
