	Throw out wait with Nelson - The Boston Globe
		Adam Nelson is among the more theatrical shotput competitors, playing to the crowd on his way into the ring, exhorting the fans to cheer him on.
		In the 2004 Olympics, Nelson's opening toss of 21.16 meters (69-5 1/4) held up as the longest distance until Ukraine's Yuriy Bilonog matched it on his final attempt, and Bilonog was declared the leader because of his second-longest try.
		Nelson, who had no legal second mark, concluded the day with another long throw but fouled and finished second, his second successive Olympic silver medal.

		Adam Nelson '97 won the shot put silver on Sept. 21 with a throw of 21.21 meters, or 69 feet, 7 inches.
		Nelson entered the Sydney games as a favorite to win a medal due largely to his throw of 72-feet 7-inches, the longest distance recorded in the shot put this year, during the Olympic trials.
		Nelson succeeded not only in track and field but on the gridiron as well: He was the first first-year student to play varsity football at Dartmouth, in 1993, after the Ivy League lifted its ban on first-year participation.

	U.S. Shot Putter Slips in the Final (washingtonpost.com)
		Nelson had one last chance to win and unleashed a golden toss -- but was called for his fifth consecutive foul and had to settle for silver.
		After the foul was called, Nelson remained helplessly in the shot put ring for three minutes, pointing and pleading with officials, even as Bilonog took the flag-draped victory lap that the former Dartmouth defensive tackle thought was his.

		Four years ago, Nelson shocked everyone outside the world of track and field by winning the shot put at the U.S. Olympic Trials with his wild-eyed, whirling-dervish approach to the throwing pit.
		Nelson needed all his Athens resources -- his wife, his training partners, his coach -- as well as friends and mentors such as Carl Wallin, the Dartmouth track team's field-events coach -- to stay on message and on target.
		Nelson is far from alone in those hopes and beliefs.

	Adam Nelson
		As Nelson waited for his own final toss, 2002 European champion Yuriy Bilonog of the Ukraine matched Nelson with a throw of 21.16m/69-5.25, which put him in the lead because his second-best throw was better than Nelson’s (who had no legal second mark).
		Nelson stepped into the ring for his final attempt and unleashed what looked to be a possible winning throw, only to have it declared foul…despite battling several injuries throughout the season, including muscle pulls, tendonitis, and shin splints, Nelson still ended the 2003 season ranked #3 in the world.
		Originally a football player, Nelson was asked to come out for track in 8th grade by his coach, who handled both track and football: ‘I was the worst 8th-grade shot putter in our group, but I stuck with it, and it paid off.’ Nelson played football all through high school and college.

		That was Adam Nelson, shot put bridesmaid no more, after clinching his first senior world championship crown last night in Helsinki.

		The Ebay auction, which marketed Nelson as a pitchman for the highest bidder during the four televised track meets he was slated to compete in during that month, put $12,000 in his pocket and pushed him past an early-season injury to peak for these outdoor world championships.

		Beaver Nelson’s third release, Undisturbed, is filled with eloquent expressions that settle somewhere between the rhythms of a lucid dream and the consciousness of reality.
		In the solemn song “Did You Know” Nelson sings, “Moments held between/ two kids and infinity/ I will remember every thing.” This is continued in “The Beauty in Store,” a sweet yet firm sort of lullaby written for his son.
		While Nelson is reaching towards his goal of 20 albums, and Carroll is taking it “gig by gig,” they have made it far enough to call this their only job.
