The movies had the Three Amigos, now US track and field has the Three Putters. Adam Nelson, C. J. Hunter, and Andy Bloom put on a show for the fans and themselves on Saturday at the US Olympic Trials that was unparalleled in the event's history. In succession on their last throws of the competition, Bloom, Nelson, and Hunter each threw over 71 feet to gain spots on the US Olympic team. And they did it in fist-pumping, chest thumping, jumping, flopping style, sharing their joy with the roaring crowd. Bloom added that anyone who didn't know it was going to be this type of competition, hadn't been following the sport.
