No, whatever you do forward you do opposite backward. So Morgan twists right going forward, and left going backward, and Paul's the reverse. Kind of like if you were to watch it forward, then hit rewind and watch in going backward.
No clue. I know Paul's ring grips come from Germany (they're the same kind that Fabian Hambuchen uses) because his old ones broke and he had a hard time finding new ones he liked.
Not really. The Hamms are a great example, because Morgan rounds off (twists forward) to the right and Paul rounds off to the left. Going backward it's jut the reverse of whatever you do going forward.
Yup, they were only 17. Paul was one of the youngest ever to compete all-around, and Morgan competed in his first event finals the day they turned 18.
Yeah, when I heard that while I was putting this together I couldn't stop laughing for about five minutes. It always makes me smile to watch their old competitions and hear them talk about what a great future Paul has. He's had a great career. Wish it wasn't ending ahead of schedule. :o(
I feel really bad about that myself. I've been going to their website since it opened up and it was just such a great story to watch. If he came back from the broken metacarpal, it would have been even better. I deeply respect his decision though, talk about classiness.
I know! It didn't help that Morgan had such a baby face then! It was so much rounder that he looked so much like Paul. From a distance it was almost impossible to tell.
they are so young
