I unfortunately fell victim to the Yahoo headline again and knew he'd won it at about 3pm yesterday. But it was still fun watching it last night. Especially after he fell and the commentators were like "His gold medal dreams are dashed! He will NOT be Olympic champion now" etc etc. I kept saying, "But he's gonna prove you wrong! Go Paul!!!!"
Don'cha love them 'doom-and-gloom' NBC broadcasters? Hamm eats it on the vault and they already wrote him off. Nothing short of miraculous snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, though. The Korean, though was utterly devastated on seeing the final results.
