Word Play

Don’t be confused by USA Gymnastics’ official terminology, which requires them to refer to the Olympians named at Trials as “nominated.” That simply means that the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), which must approve all Olympic athletes from all sports, hasn’t officially added them to USOC Olympic roster. There is no circumstance, barring a major rules violation (i.e. a positive drug test or a legal challenge to the selection procedures), that would prevent those “nominated” by USA Gymnastics from going to Beijing.

It’s a lot like Paul Hamm having to prove his readiness at the men’s July training camp. While true, to a point, Hamm is on the Olympic team now, and can only be removed if he cannot compete due to a medical reason or if he voluntarily gives up his spot.

It’s not as if Hamm has to show the Selection Committee his routines and be judged. In fact, it’s far more likely that Hamm would take himself off the team if he wasn’t 100 percent, perhaps even against the wishes of USA Gymnastics officials, who are likely to feel that even a hampered Hamm is better than anyone else who could replace him on the squad. Still, a competitor like Hamm would find it hard to settle for second best, especially when he’s the reigning Olympic champ.

“Knowing the type of person, and athlete, Paul is,” National Team Coordinator Ron Brant said of Team USA’s star, “if he’s not ready to go, he’s not really interested in going and getting a warm-up jacket.”
