There has been alot of contraversy with the Mens Gymnastics in the Olympics. Paul Hamm had one of the greatest combacks in Olympic history to win the gold. But, Olympic officals admit to a scoreing mistake and now the Korean who finish second says he should of won he gold. There was an article in the USA Today that said, "Hamm should do the right thing and give the medal back." After reading this article I could not believe what was said in it. Do the right thing the writer wrote. Ok I say hamm does the right thing and give back the medals if and only if the 1972 Russian Men's Basketball team gives back their gold medals after the infamous Do over game. Also if Roy Jones Jr. is awarded the Gold he was cheated out of and if the Japanese swimmer who won gold and used an illegal dolphin kick gives back the gold he won. My point mistakes are made and last time I checked there is no instant replay in the Olympics. Decisions are made on the spot and there are often missed calls. That is just part of the games. Now the rules state for mens Gymnastics that the judges decision is finial. Also the Koreans had a chance to point out the mistake but failed to fill out the proper paper work in the time required and missed their chance. The Olympics are about fair competion and the love of the sport. Not finger pointing and people jumping up and down throwing a tamtrum like a 3 year old. Paul Hamm won the event. He was given a score to beat by his coach and he went out and achieved that score. He showed what an Olympic champion was by getting right back into the competetion when he was considered no longer a contender. He put on a near perfect performance in the end to win it. You can not take that away from him.
