Paul Hamm, the golden boy of US gymnastics team, withdrew from the Beijing Olympics on Monday. An injured hand and lack of time to practise were the main reasons for his withdrawal. Raj Bhavsar will replace Hamm to shine in the Games next month.
Paul Hamm’s withdrawal is a huge blow for the Americans, who were fourth at last year’s world championships and hoped his return — and that of Morgan — would get them back on the podium. Hamm is the only American to win the world (2003) or Olympic (2004) all-around titles.
