OSU Grads Make Olympic Team

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Morgan Hamm will be joining his brother at the Olympics.

Morgan Hamm was selected for the U.S. men's gymnastics team for the Beijing Games yesterday, along with Kevin Tan, Joseph Hagerty and Justin Spring. Reigning Olympic champion Paul Hamm -- Morgan's twin -- and Jonathan Horton were put on the team Saturday after the conclusion of the Olympic trials.

Both Hamm brothers are graduates of Ohio State University.

The entire team still has to show physical readiness at a July 22nd training camp in Colorado.

Morgan Hamm struggled Saturday after injuring his ankle the first day of trials. But he is somebody the United States can count on for solid routines every time he takes the floor.

He also could contend for an individual medal on floor exercise, and will give the Americans a strong score on pommel horse, their weakest event.
