paul hamm is won a medal in 2004 doing a bad exercise.

Tan is sloppy on rings and his positions are pretty ugly. I agree that Paul would have definitely made a huge difference, but Morgan was looking pretty sloppy even from qualifiers. US team was pretty messed up this year with Paul and David Senders getting injured. Lastly, Zou Kai deserved that gold, his difficulty was higher and had no major errors in his routine!

yeah tan chose to do an easier routine than what he's capable of on rings, if paul and morgan made it team usa would have won and paul would have won the all-around gold. durante would have brought a lot of concintensy to the team but oh well, they got 3 place for the team and horton got silver on HB but he deserved the gold, zou kai's routine was too sloppy in my book.

i disagree. she isnt stupid at all. the only thing she was wrong about was joe hagerty and kevin tan. cus they bothscrewed us at the olympics. hagerty on floor, tan on rings.sean golden and david durante should have been in instead of tan and hagerty

[USGoingForGold]

She's right about John's passion and energy though. And look at what was going on in Joey's life and he was still consistent! We have a strong team this year. I definitely think we're going to give the Chinese a run for their money in Beijing.
