Olympic gymnast, Paul Hamm, will not be heading to China to defend his all-around men’s gymnastics title. His apparent quick comeback from a broken bone in his hand, which he suffered in May, has been stymied. One of the American team’s 3 alternates will take his spot.

In a statement, Hamm said, “I have put my heart and soul into the comeback and done everything I could to get ready in time to compete in Beijing. After returning home from the preparation camp, I had a few physical setbacks and it became clear to me that my physical preparations would not be sufficient to properly represent the United States and contribute to the team’s efforts to win a medal.”

You gotta hand it to him, he’s not a spoiled hamm…definitely a team player.
