COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Give Paul Hamm a hand. And a plane ticket to Beijing.

The Olympic champion will get to defend his title in China thanks to a performance Saturday that ended any doubt about whether his broken right hand has healed.

Eight weeks after the injury, Hamm needed to show competitive readiness at the final intrasquad meet before the U.S. team leaves for China. After watching Hamm excel, then gathering for a short meeting, the men's selection committee confirmed the 25-year-old defending all-around champion would be on the team.

"It's been a wild ride for me ever since my comeback into the sport," Hamm said. "I'm just happy right now to be able to compete at this level."

It was a typically classy effort from America's best gymnast, though not exactly a stroll. Hamm grimaced and grunted his way through his rings routine and nearly fell during his high bar landing — signs that he needs the next three weeks to get in competitive shape.

"He's a very experienced athlete, a very intelligent athlete and a very calculating athlete," said men's program director Dennis McIntyre. "From an emotional standpoint, it's exciting to see how far he's come.

"We have no doubt he'll do what he needs to do to be ready."

The Americans go through team qualifying in Beijing on Aug. 9.

NEW WAVERLY, Texas — Now it's official: Chellsie Memmel, Alicia Sacramone and Samantha Peszek are going to the Beijing Olympics. And they're bringing Bridget Sloan with them.

Considered all but locks after strong showings at last month's nationals and Olympic trials, Memmel, Peszek and Sacramone looked even better Saturday night to earn spots on the U.S. women's gymnastics team. Sloan, the alternate on last year's world championship team, upgraded herself with an impressive performance at the two-day selection camp.

The four join Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, who secured spots with their 1-2 finish at trials, on the last U.S. team to be finalized.

Now it's on to Beijing, where the Americans will be favorites to add Olympic gold to the one they won at last year's world championships.

Their biggest competition will come from the home team, China, who were world champs in 2006 and runners-up last year.

LOS ANGELES — Laura Wilkinson and her diving partner Jessica Livingston lost their appeal Saturday to compete in 10-meter synchronized platform diving at the Beijing Olympics.

An arbitrator ruled to keep 15-year-olds Haley Ishimatsu and Mary Beth Dunnichay as the synchro platform team for next month's games.

Wilkinson and Livingston filed a complaint against USA Diving and the U.S. Olympic Committee asking to be placed on the team or have another competition to see if they or Ishimatsu and Dunnichay should compete in Beijing.

In their complaint, attorneys for Wilkinson and Livingston said USA Diving's selection criteria was too broadly drawn to meet the standard required by the USOC for team selection proceedings.

The younger duo was named to the Olympic team after they split four rounds with Wilkinson and Livingston at a selection camp earlier this month in Knoxville, Tenn.

LAS VEGAS — First-round draft picks Kevin Love and Robin Lopez were added Saturday to the select team that will scrimmage against the U.S. Olympic team this week.

Both players were chosen after strong performances in the NBA summer league. Love, picked fifth by Memphis and traded to Minnesota on draft night, has averaged 20.7 points and 15 rebounds in three games for the Timberwolves.

Lopez, the No. 15 pick, averaged 16 points and 7.7 rebounds in three games for Phoenix.
