Career Highlights
Hamm was named to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team for men's gymnastics, but withdrew because of an injury. He suffered a torn pectoral muscle in late 2007 and returned to competition in April 2008. He is a three-time Olympian (2000, 2004 and 2008), and helped the U.S. men win the team silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games. The 2002-03 U.S. floor exercise champion, Hamm also was a member of the 2003 World Championships Team that claimed the team silver medal. He returned to competitive gymnastics at the 2007 Visa Championships, after taking time off after the 2004 Olympic Games to finish his education. With his twin brother, Paul, who was also on the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Teams and is on the 2008 Olympic Team, the brothers made history in 2000 when they became the first twins ever to compete in the same Olympic Games in gymnastics. Hamm earned his exercise science degree from Ohio State in 2007. He was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2020.
