Has Anyone Seen This Guy Run?

Oscar Pistorius is an Oakley sponsored athlete (I think). He is a double amputee...who is trying to qualify for the Olympics. I guess some are saying he shouldn't be considered due to him having a possible advantage?

Yea they say it's an advantage because there are less muscles to use and feed and they don't get tired

I've seen clips of him running yeah. He doesn't have an advantage in terms of time, he's generally 2 seconds off the top times, but it's been shown he uses less energy and effort to do those times than an able body person (about 20-30% less energy) so, in that regard, he does have an unfair advantage.

 

[O-man]

All I've heard about him is the stand up bit that Katt Williams does on him. Poor little tink tink...anybody else seen it?

It appears that finally prosthetic science is showing us the potential for us to augment ourselves to be something more.

I'll hang on to my ankles for the time being, thanks.
