Spectator Sport: Olympian Paul Hamm
(Getty Images)
From the gifted to the gorgeous, Spectator sport showcases gay and straight athletes at the top of their game.
In 2004 Paul Hamm became the first U.S. male to win the Olympic gymnastic all-around title when he took home gold at the Athens games. The question a lot are asking is can he repeat?
Paul, along with his identical brother Morgan and 6 others, will be representing the U.S. in Beijing later this summer.
More after the jump.
In addition to his gold all-around medal, Paul received the silver in both the team competition and the horizontal bar.
Following the 2004 Olympics, the 5'6" Waukesha, WI native, left gymnastics for a few years to attend Ohio State University where he graduated with a degree in accounting.

Paul definitely deserved to win the gold. I am a gymnast and he had a miraculous comeback. Yeng Wei ate the mat on high bar and the Korean doesn't know how to count holds on his parallel bar routine. So therefore, Paul won fair and square. If Yeng Wei did not fall, he would have won for sure and if the Korean didn't have an extra hold on parallel bars, he would have won.

and for all of you guys who are fans, Paul is not competing at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. He broke his hand back in May and is not ready to compete. So, I think he is done with gymnastics for good now!
