Reece Hoffa, Ryan Whiting and Christian Cantwell will be representing the U.S. in the 2012 Olympic Games in London this August. Hoffa's throw of 72-2.25 is the best throw in the world this year. The U.S. has dominated the world standings in the Shot Put for several nearly a decade but have no Olympic Gold medals to show for it...will this year be the year the american's can change who stands on top of the podium.
