The Washington Times article of today by Ryan O’Halloran has some wonderful quotes that show Paul Hamm is bright and mature at his moment of private agony.

“From the beginning, my attempt at a comeback has been a long shot,” he said. “The time frame was extremely short. … If I had another month, I think I would have been able to get the job done.”

“I’ve had a wonderful career, and the success I’ve had in this sport has been more than I ever dreamed of,” he said. “If you would see me before a competition and how my preparation is and then see where I am now, the difference is almost laughable. You’re supposed to be in the best shape going into the Olympics, not the worst shape.”
