    it's not that i don't want hiroyuki tomita to go back to competing, i really do plus he's sooooo handsome, but i voted kyle shewfelt, since hiroyuki's mentioned several times that he's burned out already. on the other hand, kyle had such an amazing comeback leading up to beijing that it was heartbreaking when he didn't make finals. i hope he can go for more.

    Yang Wei was still in his prime. He could have continued...but I guess he probably achieved all of his goals in the sport.

    Yang Wei isn't at his prime. He was well passed it during the 2008 Olympics. He was at his physical best at 2000. It was pure determination that allowed him to endure and succeed all the way to 2008.
