Olympic gymnastics
No American male has ever won an Olympic all-around medal at a non-boycotted Games. That could change in Athens with the emergence of Paul Hamm, the World all-around champion and arguably the best male gymnast produced by the U.S. since Kurt Thomas. Should he win an all-around medal in Athens, Hamm would join Peter Vidmar (silver, 1984) as the only American to do so.
I like the floor exercise. Here is how they score it:

1.0 Front handspring
1.0 Roundoff back handspring
1.0 Side lunge to side scale (hold 2 secs)
