I can "see" that performance of the last Olympics. Oh my!<BR/><BR/>And yes, the date is getting close.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468220763950688479.post-75778140439302050732008-08-01T00:42:00.000-05:002008-08-01T00:42:00.000-05:00I read that Raj got it after I posted and I am so ...I read that Raj got it after I posted and I am so glad-- and you are right, "screwed" was the wrong term. I was pulling for him though, knowing how close he had been before<BR/><BR/>Yay to him, that is so great for him now even if it had to happen at Hamm's expense.<BR/><BR/>Only one more week til the opening ceremonies!

Raj missed being automatically selected to team by less than a point at the Olympic trials. Raj didn't necessarily get screwed, but it certainly has been a long wait for him to finally get a chance to compete for gold. Unfortunately for Paul, his body gave out. After the 9-day training camp in Colorado Springs, his teammates were able to ramp down their training, but Paul was forced to ramp his up. The pain and subsequent shoulder injury prevented him from going on.
