Just like his brother, Morgan Hamm has been forced to withdraw from the 2008 Olympics due to an injury.

“This has been an extremely hard decision to make,” Hamm said. “I’ve given everything I had to compete in these Olympic Games.” “It’s tough. It’s the end of my career and it’s not the way to end it.”

Morgan’s brother Paul was forced to withdrawl form the Olympics after suffering persistent pain from the right hand he broke 2 months ago and a strained left rotator cuff.

With both Hamm brothers out of the Olympics the US gymnastics team could easily get embarrassed.
