Hamm is ready to return

Olympic champion Paul Hamm of Waukesha plans to compete at a U.S. men's gymnastics ranking meet next month, his first competition since breaking his hand at the 2008 national championships.

Hamm hopes to earn one of eight spots on the national team available at the Winter Cup on Feb. 2-4 at the Sports Center in Las Vegas.

Hamm, the only American man to win the Olympic and world all-around titles, missed the Beijing Olympics after breaking his hand in 2008.

He came out of retirement for a second time in 2010 but missed last year's national championships while he recovered from shoulder surgery.
