Adam Nelson throws 22.07m (72 feet 5 inches) in New York

[1134BlackLabel]

Just watched him at Millrose last night, even got to meet him. Hes a great guy.

[BeasltyFry]

No, Cantwell is the only one...All's he needs to do is use legs...He throws based on power, needs better form..But back to Nelson...He always late releases, it pisses me off cuz he can do alil better cuz its wasting energy to late release...and gosh wierdes form lol. It loooks cool but alil on the wierd side is all....Love him though hes good.wont break WR. though.

[llennroy]

two words, no block. the block is harder and i think less effective with the spin but i does still add a bit. Im suprised he's gotten so far with a dead left arm

[fidadddd]

I think only nelson can break wr

[IwontSay]

bit to old dont ya think ?

[gwayluver02]

haha maybe they dont care as you get older, i dont know?

but.. didnt he violate it when he stepped in through the front of the circle? maybe thats just middle school.

[jmm121884]

Its not a foul to walk in the front of a cirlce... I've heard that before and some HS coaches enforcing going in the back and out the back. If any officials you know enforce that as a rule they are wrong.

[tonzy74]

@jmm121884 im in highschool, it is not a foul to enter the front, the rule at least in nj is you enter anywhere, and exit the back half of the circle.

[BeasltyFry]

No your allowed to enter from any witch way but exit from back half...

[jconna77]

Nearly flawless form. He certainly makes the most of his size.

[BeasltyFry]

He has the wierdest form...do you see his trail leg/left leg...It comes up past his waist...Loses a lot of speed...its to much to keep control thats why he fouls more then any other thrower in history....Watch Randy Barnse...Only person in history to perfect the spin. footing is perfect when he trys.

[allynlaughlin]

So I was actually there to see this in person . . Prob one of the best experiences . . Absolutely insane

[allynlaughlin]

I mean the 22.40 at Tyson I saw . . there was a college meet going on at the same time there that I was competing in but yea . .

[jmm121884]

22.40 at Tyson relays... HOLY CRAP!

[puttter]

i was there and his foul throw looked to be farther than that

[jmm121884]

He said he plans on improving on that mark by the end of the indoor season..

[TheMyrmidon47]

good call lol 73'6''... It is the furthest throw by someone who isnt on roids...

[jmm121884]

Well for indoor yes.

[ThrowLongRealLong]

Kinda makes me wonder about the marks set by Barnes and Timmerman.....is that legit.....or is that coming off yet another 3 week cycle where training has peaked?

[keeperrulez]

An amazingly great throw of Adam! Have a look on Hoffa's face after Adam had this gigantic throw!

No matter you cannot call his technique that bad because being only strong does not make you throw that far.

[cdonohou]

Adam Nelson, even though he throws far, has some of the worst form I've ever seen. His separation is great but his power position is horrific. While it works for him, I hope no one else tries to mimic his form.

[sudsyannie]

Adam has a unique spin technique that he uses to compromise for his size. There is nothing sloppy or disfunctional about his technique. He is able to apply all of his force and energy into the shot because his of his superior power position. Maybe you need to watch this throw in slow motion.....

[gtg785]

he over rotates his left leg on the plant, but hes always done that to get the maximum amount of tourque from his torso

[Ken2234]

when was this???

[puttter]

febuary 1st

[BigDuke6666]

Adam Nelson is the best shot putter ever!

[railroader78]

haha yes!!! man i hope that guy finally gets that olympic gold this year

[ThrowLongRealLong]

yeah....A bitter taste would be in my mouth if I had 2 silver back to back...I hope he really knows what he is doing with the training regimen this time and doesn't peak too early.

[masonman44]

that was awesome. what the hell was wrong with hoffa, though?

[jmm121884]

what was wrong with adam last week? everyone has bad days and good days.

[masonman44]

yeah good point!

[ShotPut90]

GO ADAM!

[moukaroija]

wow.. awesome.. over 22m!
