For all you Hamm lovers out there. You know who you are.
In the previous installment of Hammwatch, I wrote that nobody seems to know if Olympic all-around champion Paul Hamm and his twin brother, fellow Olympic gymnast Morgan Hamm, are identical or fraternal twins. The Washington Post says identical. The AP says fraternal. The U.S. Olympic Committee says identical. USA Gymnastics says fraternal. Are the twins playing an elaborate prank on the nation's media? Did Paul and Morgan think they were fraternal (or identical), but then find out later in life that they were identical (or fraternal)? Are they, as many readers suggested, really "half-identical" twins?
Five-Ring Circus reached Paul and Morgan's father, Sandy Hamm, in Athens today. So, Mr. Hamm, are your sons identical or fraternal?
"Their parents do not believe that they're identical," he says.
