I am still watching on the West Coast, so I haven't seen him fall yet. What a remarkable story.
It is. After he fell, he also fell from 1st to 12th. Every announcer was talking about how it would be a miracle if he even won a bronze medal. They had pretty much written him off.
Which is strange, because announcers like to try to and create as much drama as they can, and usually they'll sell what chance a person has instead of writing them off.
What Paul Hamm did is like being behind 42 to 7 in the last 10 minutes of the super bowl and pulling out a 43-42 win.
Hope he gets on a wheeties box. As a plus, if he ever gets tired of doing personal appearances, he could have his twin brother step in for him.
