POSITIVELY PAUL HAMM
A Local Inspiration

Imagine training your whole life for this moment. Then you slip, fall, and think your chance at any medal is gone.
Somehow, someway you recover in one of the most incredible comebacks in Olympic history to win gold...only to find out due to a scoring controversy, some people want you to give that medal back.
That's the story of Paul Hamm...but to his credit, he's never gotten bitter...and now can even joke about the gold medal that was nearly taken away from him. The Waukesha native has a story that's worthy of a movie.
I caught up with Paul while giving an inspirational speech at Northwestern Mutual Life. Click on the video link, and watch for a future story with Paul as he goes for gold one more time!
