Talk:Paul Hamm

message: World champion or not, Paul Hamm's Olympic Gold Medal, following his fall on the vault, would not have been possible without a significant amount of ill-fortune by his competitors.  It's not necessarily a criticism of him either - that's why you play the game: Because sometimes, somehow, amazingly improbable things happen. :Iceberg3k 16:39, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
:I don't really see the significance of mentioning this.  You might as well say, "His gold would not have been possible if he had not performed better than his competitors" (or at least was judged to have performed better).  His competitors' mistakes were no more a matter of "ill-fortune" than was his.--Mncuso 22:22, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Effect of other competitors' errors

message: I keep hearing about Paul Hamm being the first American man to win the gymnastics all around, but according to the IOC's website, that honor goes to Julius Lenhart, gold medal winner of the all-around at the 1904 St. Louis games. Is this a massive mistake by the news media or am I missing something?

Lenhart was Austrian, but since he had lived and worked in the US (amongst other places), his medals were counted as medals for the US. After he died, his medal wins were transferred (in a manner of speaking) to Austria.

thread_title: Julius Lenhart

message: 1.  Let's make a list of references for use.  (article is reference short.)
2.  Improve the organization (I've already done a lot of this.)
3.  Merge the controversy and effect of the controversy section and make much smaller.
4.  Add a section on his 2000 Olympics.
5.  Add a section on his 2000-2004 non-Olympics career (in particular 2003 Worlds AA champ)
6.  A sentence or two on tour participation.  There was also a newsworthy controversy with one of them.
7.  Something on his club or HS gymnastics career.

message: I spoke with Paul Hamm on 11/7/09 in Chicago, IL.  He told me and others that he is considering a comeback in the sport of gymnastics.  I think that he should not be qouted as " perminantly retired".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.35.108 (talk) 02:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Seems the profile pic is dated for around 2010, any boy able to add in a more recent photo? I know there is a debate as whether to make profile pics current or keep it to their image aligned with their prime hey-day appearance. But I think its better to not mislead people on their actual appearance when visiting their Wiki page. Just a thought let me know. EliteArcher88 (talk) 18:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
