Former Olympic all-around champion Paul Hamm had a rough day at this past weekend's Winter Cup. In his first meet in four years he didn't make the finals, and wasn't named to the U.S. National Team. (Read more on the meet on ESPN.com.)

It's still very early in the year, though, and Hamm still has some time before nationals and Olympic Trials in June.

He told Gymnastike.org he was frustrated about the result, but that he had come a long way recently. (Watch the full interview).

John Orozco, meanwhile, ran away with the all-around title by 5.5 points over second-place Steven Legendre. Get the full results of the 2012 Winter Cup.

There are lots of videos of the meet up on Gymnastike.org.

Athens Olympic gold medalist Paul Hamm is on the roster for this weekend's Winter Cup in Las Vegas -- his first meet back since 2008.

He said in a press conference today that he was planning to do four events (floor, pommel horse, vault, and parallel bars), and is hoping he can make a complete comeback in time to make the London team.

I love this post on the Triple Twist Gym Blog -- a compilation of awkward and funny gymnastics moments, from mistimed salutes to gymnasts cutting in line during warm-ups. Check it out here.

Which awkward moment is your favorite? Mine is Lexie Priessman's trip at the beginning of her bar routine. She goes right back and nails her set, then shares a good laugh with her teammates after.
