Courtrules Athens gold belongs to U.S. gymnast
For weeks, Paul Hamm's Olympic gold medal sat in a drawer at his boyhood home,
There was, after all, a chance he'd have to give it to someone else.
Now, the gold medal is his — finally and forever.
Sports' highest court rejected an appeal from a South Korean gymnast on Thursday, ruling that Hamm is the rightful champion in the men's all-around competition at the Athens Games.
The verdict is final and cannot be appealed.
"It feels like it's mine now. If I were to damage it in any way, it wouldn't be going to anyone else. If I ruin it, it's mine to ruin." Hamm said. "Now I'll be able to put it in a safe place and leave it there."
And leave this whole mess behind him.
The decision by a three-judge panel from the Court of Arbitration for Sport ends a tussle that began more than two months ago, when South Korea's Yang Tae-young claimed a scoring error had cost him victory.
"There's been a lot of fighting for this medal. I feel like I've won it three times," he said, "I think it'll mean that much more, that I'll be able to keep it for the rest of my life."
But the CAS panel dismissed the appeal, leaving Hamm with gold and Yang with bronze. Kim Dae-eun of South Korea will keep the silver.
Yang asked the court to order international gymnastics officials to change the results and adjust the medal rankings accordingly, giving him the gold and Hamm the silver.

This triple threat will be difficult for the Jayhawks to slow down, but it comes with the territory for a team trying to win its first conference championship.
Carpenter is second with seven and McDonald, Texas' all-time leading scorer, is third with six.
Texas is still dangerous, though, as the Longhorns' Kelsey Carpenter and Kelly McDonald were both named last week's Big 12 players of the week.
The Longhorns are also tough at home, having won their last eight matches.
Texas is as good on offense as Texas A&M, having scored 42 goals this season.

Kelly Wilson leads the team in goals scored with nine.
"We've got two tough games on the road and another at home," Francis said. "It won't be easy, but this is one of the goals we set before the season, and we are right where we want to be."
It has been a tough season for Texas, as it started the season ranked in the top 15.

When the show ended and people filed out of the fieldhouse, I wondered what the crowd was taking away from the night.

While walking over the empty popcorn boxes and bottles of water, still trying to get out of the fieldhouse, I went on thinking
PRESHOW: Women's team should play more than 8 minutes
about how deserving it was for the women's team to finally get in on the action. And although Henrickson warned us of a "rusty" debut for her team, we saw them play well enough to get us excited for the season. We just didn't see much.
