I remember reading a very interesting article on this guy months back. He's a US javelin thrower and has never won a medal due to injuries but is healthy now. When does he throw? Any update on this guy? They made it sound as if he could not only win gold but set a record if healthy

He was a gladiator on American Gladiators this last season. His name was Hurricane.
I guess this guy panned out to be a no body in this years Olympics? I'm not watching, I'm over seas and pretty busy... someone fill me in.
Last chance to see if anyone knows anything on this guy. ESPN.com sucks in my opinion on finding info on specifics of this years games.
Is this guy still in the hunt or was he a huge bust? So much hype was built on him before the games started

I didn't read the article but I know he bombed the games.
what a joke!

He didn't bomb, he finished 12th, only the top 10 make the finals. That's not bombing.

I consider it a huge FAIL because I was under the impression that he might set records much less not medal or qualify. I had read that the only thing stopping him in the past was injuries. He was healthy going into these games. He left with nothing

He was not healthy going into these games, the Olympic Trials was his first competition all year.
A large part of Greer is his bravado, which can make him entertaining, but when he is healthy, he is good. He was not healthy this year.
