Hell, yeah! We so totally rock!

Nothing says "Hell, yeah!" like US gymnast Paul Hamm's victory in the Men's All Around tonight. From a fall during the vault that looked like he was done, to nearly flawless routines on the parallel bars and the high bar, Hamm had what it takes to be an Olympic champion. After his high bar routine, his coaches went nuts, his twin brother Morgan went nuts in the stands, and Hamm got the score that gave him gold over the Koreans (who got the silver and the bronze medals) by 12/1000th of a point! Hamm becomes the first American male gymnast to win the gold in the All Around competition at the Olympics.

Then the women's 4 X 200 meters swimming relay team got gold and smashed a 17 year old record time!

And there's still a week to go!
