Another thing that isn't fair - qualifying for the all-around or event final and then getting replaced by your coach for someone else who he thinks deserves it more or has a better chance of medalling. [quote]In the run-up to the 1996 Olympics, the world seemed to be Alexandra Marinescu's oyster. After winning the European junior title twice and helping her team to the gold medal at the 1995[ Read More... ]

You're right. Jordan is really good. But Blaine didn't even do that great in the 2004 Olympics. And Morgan, come on, the only reason he was put on that team was because of Paul. There were several other guys that beat him in the Olympic Trials. Gymnastics is to political. They already have the team selected anyway. If they judged fairly and put people on team that deserve to be there then we[ Read More... ]

Seriously, He really just needs to stay retired. He needs to face the fact that he's getting old. It's kinda sad. Does he not know what else to do with his life.

It's not new that gymnasts can petition in competitions, it can be viewed as an advantage and disadvantage on what percent this competition counts and what it gets combined with. But, yes, they are giving chances to competitors - better than not giving chances - they should show what they can do. They should have allowed Dominique Moceanu to compete at Nationals, and then decide what they want[ Read More... ]

The goal is to have USA on the podium with a gold...like they said in those At&T blue room Behind the Team videos, the point for the individual coaches shouldn't be on their own gymnast but on getting the USA team the gold medal, winning, etc. You can watch them at: http://blueroom.att.com/sports/teamusa/home/index.php (topic is http://www.gymchat.com/messageboards/viewtopic.php?t=468 )

Paul was 2004 Olympic AA champion - the men's team placed 13th at Aarhus Worlds and didn't qualify, they don't have the numbers to choose from like in USA women's gymnastics, they want him on the team. What about how Dominique Moceanu was treated - she wasn't even allowed to compete at Naionals and lost her appeal, saying that she did the requirements given to her and her coach - the women's[ Read More... ]

So the Hamms don't even go to the qualifer meet, but they somehow get to compete at USA's and Paul makes team. Yeah, that's real fair. How about the fact that the guys who did compete at qualifer 30% of their points went with them to USA's. So the two days of competiton was only worth 70%. Unlike the guys who didn't compete and petitioned to go to USA's, got 100%. Once again, real fair. It's all[ Read More... ]
