I know it's kind of a weird question but we are supposed to debate this at school and I don't feel like doing the research, so if you have any arguments pro or con I'm ready to hear them.

Fuck no. The Korean guys technically didnt even beat him. He held too many times, and the judges fucked that up too. The extra hold was a .1 or.2 deduction, I cant remember.

fuck no! it's not everyone else's fault that he screwed up and then worked extra hard just to fix it. they're just whiny little bitches who think just because he messed up bad, then did perfect, that there's no possible way that could've happened w/o a little help from the judges. what we should be asking is, 'should the judges give their balls back?' yes, god damn it

^Would have been a .2 deduction if they had calculated it right. The next set of judges was even worse. Holy fuck, dude.. That poor guy trying to follow up an AWESOME routine by the Russian as well as minutes of booing and whatnot from the audience. He sure as hell pulled shit off. He deserved medals, but I personally think the paralell and high bar routines were scored poorly, as well as many of the women's gymnastics events.

Yes, he should have returned the gold a long time ago.He did not win it and it's extremely poor sportsmanship to keep it .....booo....

Yes he should've given it back because it wasn't a judging error like everyone says. It was a typo. If it had been a judging error, then I would say he shoudl keep it, but a typo is different. See, the Korean lost because they started his routine scored lower than it should've been. Yes they maybe messed up the judging a bit, but it wasn't enough to throw off the competition. The reason the Korean didn't win is because the judges, due to a miscommunication and typing error, deducted .1 off his score right at the beginning, before the competition even started. For this reason, there should be no question that Hamm should give his medal to the Korean, who not only got second after all that, but even had a score that, properly recorded, would have been a gold.

but the judges also made another error in his favor so he would have got 3rd if they actually counted both of the errors

Should not have to return the gold, but the Korean should get something...Olympics are basically a joke anyway as we saw this year. Any event with judges can basically be assumed to follow the hype and be messed up, especially when you have a conflict of interests in the judging booth. Hamm fell on his ass and got first place, I knew something was wrong the second he won, but everyone played it off like it was a great comeback.

no paul hamm should'nt give the medal back. The Korean guy completed to many holds in his preformance which gives him a .2 deduction right there. If your going to correct the judges for starting him wrong you should correct them for judgeing the preformance on a whole as wrong as well.

Also what do you guys think about the marathon guy getting pulled off by a crazy priest. I felt so bad for him.

No, if the olympic committee or whoever governs that shit made a mistake, then they need to fix it. It shouldn't be his responsibility.

The other side of it though. He'll be forgotten in 4 years. But, if he were to voluntarily give it back, he'd be remembered forever. Boy scouts would sit around campfires everywhere singing his praise and his squeaky voice.

that guy is a bad ass, he deserves every metal he got.


[ Slug ]

You look like you were built for me; You talk like you want to steal my drink
You kiss like you already came; And that's a lift to pull a line for those with out any game

It's like damn baby; You know you can't save me
But you should still tell your people that your leaving with the band; Maybe you can show me your hustle
Neither one of us would be so lonely; If only you would come over here and hold me
I caught you trying to hide your smile behind your glass; But all of your secrets become a swing set when you laugh
And all of your regrets that you're carrying a burying; Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with

We've been following each other all night now; We ought to be all over each other like right now
I don't like crowds lets take flight now; Cause that face that you make
Reminds me of my life now.

he definitely deserves it. Like everyone said the korean guy held too many times which is a .2 deduction. The judges should have caught that just like they should have caught his start value.

I saw a comedian on the lsat comic standing i think it was and this is what he said: ' The great thing about the olympic is that it turns everybody into an expert about a sport that they have probably never seen before.' Judging by this thread, its true
