Jonathan Horton: 2nd place high bar at Olympics. 1st all-around 2006 and 2007 Tyson American Cup. 1st place all around 2009 and 2010 visa cup championships. 4th place world championships in 2007. Won six NCAA individual titles.
Paul Hamm: 1st all-around 2008 Pacific Rim Championships. 1st all-around 2008 Tyson. 1st all around 2004 Pacific Alliance Championships.
Then the big one is the 2004 Olympics 1st place gold medal.

Correlation between the two? I think yes. I think out of all of the big national team member gymnasts right now that Jonathan Horton has the greatest chance to win a gold medal at the up coming Olympics. Now many skeptics would say that if you look at China, Japan, or any other powerhouse teams that we don't have a chance. But that's what people said about the 2004 Olympics. That we didn't have a chance. And yet Paul Hamm won 1st place. I believe Jonathan Horton could follow in the footsteps of Paul Hamm in these next Olympics and prove all the skeptics wrong.
