My Take

What gets me about Morgan Hamm is the twin-brother shadow he never quite escaped. Paul was the household name, the all-around champion, and Morgan was the steadier, less-celebrated half of the same gene pool. Yet he was a two-time Olympian in his own right and helped the U.S. men win team silver in Athens in 2004. I find that quietly admirable: chasing elite gymnastics alongside a more famous sibling, on the very same teams, takes a particular kind of resolve. Out of the sport now, he strikes me as someone whose contribution was real even if the spotlight mostly pointed next to him.
