Track and field: US athletes take the stage

(Getty Images) For the last week, most of the world's focus has been on swimming and gymnastics, and oh what a week it has been.  But while that's been going on a few track and field events were quietly happening.  We thought now would be a good time to check in with some of the athletes and see how they have been doing.  Featured after the jump are: Lopez Lomong (Men's 1500m) Tyson Gay (Men's 100m) Aretha Thurmond (Women's discus) Anna Willard (Women's Steeplechase) Adam Nelson (Men's shot put)
