ATHENS, Greece - On a day the U.S. women's gymnastics team shined with three medals, the men's team wasn't so fortunate. But the star of the team was mad.

Paul Hamm failed to medal in either of his events Sunday, finishing fifth on floor and sixth on pommel horse. But he was more upset with the International Gymnastics Federation, which acknowledged Saturday that a scoring error wrongly gave him the gold in the all-around over Yang Tae-young of South Korea. Though FIG says it cannot change the results, the South Koreans plan to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in hopes of getting a duplicate gold medal.

“The people I’m a little bit upset with is the FIG because this matter should have never even come up,” Hamm said. “Reviewing videotape isn’t even allowed in the rules. Rules can’t be changed after the competition is over. Right now, I personally feel I shouldn’t even be dealing with this.”

Paul Hamm came up short on both floor and pommel horse, while his twin brother, Morgan Hamm, finished eighth on floor. He got a 0.10 deduction that he and coach Miles Avery initially thought was for going over the 90-second time limit. But Avery later said he wasn’t so sure.

“I don’t know what the phantom tenth was for Morgan. Maybe they thought he was Paul,” Avery said, referring to the all-around scoring dispute.

Kyle Shewfelt won Canada’s first gold in gymnastics on floor, with Marian Dragulescu of Romania second and Jovtchev third. Teng Haibin of China upset three-time world champion Marius Urzica on the pommel horse, with Urzica taking silver and Takehiro Kashima getting the bronze.

Greek fans had something to cheer about, too. Dimosthenis Tampakos sent the Olympic Indoor Hall into a frenzy on the final event of the night, winning gold on still rings. Tampakos was the first of eight competitors, and the hometown fans — including local games chief Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki — roared each time a score was posted and Tampakos maintained his hold on first place.

Jordan Jovtchev of Bulgaria won the silver, and Italy’s Yuri Chechi took the bronze.

“It was the best moment for my life, and thank God for it,” Tampakos said as music from the movie “Zorba the Greek” played in the background.

When the Greek national anthem played, it sounded as if the entire arena was singing, and many stuck around after the medals ceremony for an impromptu party.
