At the U.S. nationals twins Paul and Morgan Hamm, 24, returned to competition for the first time since the 2004 Olympics, at which Paul won the all-around gold amid controversy that helped drive him from the sport. (An arbitration panel ruled that South Korean bronze medalist Yang Tae Young had been unfairly docked a decisive .10 points.) Both Hamms entered just two events in San Jose, with Paul (above) winning gold on floor. "It feels good to have a second wind in your career," says Paul, who earned an accounting degree at Ohio State during his hiatus. (Morgan's is in exercise science.) " Athens was both a good note and a bad note. It would be good to go out on a good note." Though Paul wasn't named to the worlds team, both Hamms remain in contention for a berth in Beijing.
