You Can't Coach That

The ultimate sports performance enhancement?

“The Bladerunner”, double amputee Oscar Pistorius from South Africa has won the right to try to qualify for the Beijing Olympics and run against able-bodied athletes. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has overturned a ban from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) which had ruled that his carbon fibre prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage over able-bodied athletes.

Should the fairy tale come true and Oscar make the Olympic team and then win a medal, will drug cheats reconsider their strategy and consider amputating limbs instead?

Good luck Oscar - you are an inspiration.

“You can’t coach that”

Of course it’s not fair for him to be able to run together with the others. It’s like a different class on it’s own. =/ Imagine if everyone else in paralympic is using wheelchairs while one uses rollerskates. It’s just plain different.

Yeah! I admire this persons who no matter what kind of disability they have, they show more endurance and persist in their goals! Good examples for us.
