Shot put: Adam Nelson throws 22.40m. 3rd Best in History

[XFacTier]

Adam Nelson alter egos.....you mean mood swings right. Well, steroids will do that.

[EndlersaurusRex]

@XFacTier Nelson gets tested throughout the year You have to be shitting me saying that.

[ercafio]

3rd best indoor!!!

[MrHav1k]

I know about indoor(THis throw), but didn't he PR in like 2002 outdoor? I find it very hard to believe that he hasn't PR in 8 years in outdoor shotput.

[dziadek0016]

Respect

[TrampolineDunker100]

holy fuck

[zrx7769]

he looks like he has down syndrome

[ohedd]

That was so fucking crazy I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that result drop in on IAAF back in 08. I thought his time as a great thrower had passed, but man did he prove me wrong!

[MrHav1k]

Fuckin BEAST!

[llennroy]

the fact that only 2 people beat this; isn't that false? I heard of quite a few 75's

[jmm121884]

No one has ever thrown 75 indoors.

The world record is only 74 somethin'. The outdoor wr is 75'10'. .a few people have gone 75... cantwell nelson and hoffa have only gone 73 ever

[jmm121884]

Can't well?

fouls dont count, thats why they are fouls lol. adam has had 23m fouls,

[therealdishen]

No, they are talking about indoors. Not outdoors. I think.

[Schoentrain21]

yes u r right. in fact Allisendro Andrea threw 75 foot 2 inches. Randy Barnes threw 75 feet 10 inches. Ulf Timmerman threw 75 feet 9 inches. And finally, Brian Oldfield threw 75 feet even back in 1975.

[4inches4u]

@llennroy indoors only

[cabesasos]

i dont like adam nelson technique looks very unstable but powerfull, but ,every shotputter has his own technique

[Opie852]

yeah nelson is the only person in the world who can throw like that.. he has a bouncy spine lol

[shotputi]

Adam's Spin is Known as the (Wrap) Technique. It looks odd simply because his mid section can rotate like an Owls head.

[pedrobro1]

if ur a beast and u kno it comment me

[pedrobro1]

hahahahhaha he was so pumped . he thought he broke the world record. hahahaha!!

[puttter]

not really... he is a really intense guy

[pedrobro1]

wht do u mean not really he clearly was

[puttter]

he was pumped... if you watch any of his good throws he is like that...

you can watch the video titled "why adam nelson is a beast" he wasnt close to a record but he reacted like this

[jmm121884]

bo?

[kkittek92]

he always has a wooden stick with him during training to help him keep his shoulders and arms up/back

[kkittek92]

adam nelson is amazing!!!

he's a great coach too for the spin, unfortunately i don't spin for shot, but i do for discus...so he still helped!!!

he's gonna get the gold this year!

i can't believe i actually got to meet him a few days ago, and he let me use his stick!!!!

[HandSome2009]

good

[djtostensonjr]

Such a Beast

[damnDworld]

he is peaking at the right time

[Lbeast11]

2 scary far......with it being an olympic year. I hope he still poppin em over 22m come August...he sould be good an tired of the silver.....gotta touch gold like Barnes b4 he retires.

[jmm121884]

I'm putting my money on Nelson taking it really easy the next couple years.. probably wont see him in a lot of competitions. Then come 2012 he goes tot the trials with a best of like.. 20m and popped out a 22, wins. Goes to London and pops out 23.13 and retires.

[lewe49]

that was freaking amazing

[f1uckingretard]

Larry Rawson needs to retire...

[omicron2007]

fucking epic

[SiddhartaPotter]

Amazing, just amating =) Any throw beyond 22m is just amazing!

[jmm121884]

He's said he has more in him. I'll be USATF nationals next week, I am really hoping to see the BIG ONE.
