“I have decided to stop training in competitive gymnastics and end my efforts as a potential member of the 2012 Olympic Men’s Gymnastics Team,” said Hamm in a statement. “My career has far exceeded my expectations. I hope I am remembered for my gymnastic accomplishments, and as a kind person. Gymnastics has given me so much and now it is my turn to give back. I will always have gymnastics in my heart, and I will continue to stay involved with the governing body and all aspects of the sport.”
Paul was the first American to win World and Olympic all-around titles. He will enroll in the MBA program at Marquette University in the fall.
Good luck. And thanks for your gutsy comeback attempts for 2008 and 2012.
