Why Paul Hamm Should Keep His Medal

Mistakes happen in sports. More than one was made the night Paul Hamm won his gold medal. If the Koreans can go back after the fact and point out that their athlete's starting value on an event was wrong, then America can point out that the judges scored the Korean too highly on another event, and failed to deduct points for a mistake. This tit for tat could go on and on. The Wall Street Journal has proposed a do-over. This might not be a bad idea, but of course it would have to be judged perfectly or else another do-over would be in order. And another. And so on.
