Apparently, he can compete at the Olympics against "able-bodied" atheletes. He hasn't achieved the qualifying time yet but may do so soon.
Is this a marvellous example of overcoming a disability and showing that being "disabled" does not necessarily mean less?
Or, will the manufacturers of the blades seek to invest money in ehancing the blades, because they know that if Pisorius is successful then the manufacturers will make huge wads of cash out of his success?
How will the manufacturers make huge wads of cash?
Exactly how many people with no legs who want to run at Olympic speed are there?
The blades could be used for
activities other than running in the Olympics
Running at the COmmonwealth Games?
Running at the World Championships?
Shanks?
Bigfoot?
No, it's normal size.
Shanks for asking.
In the future,
will all world champion athletes have no legs? Will young people saw off their own legs in the quest for Olympic glory?
They let Akabusi in
he wore Cica Blades.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
how do you say that?
Dwain Chambers....
will probably cut his legs off if it means he might have a chance of getting to Beijing.
I think he'd get done
for creating toxic waste.
:)
Well, I thought he wasn't allowed in the Olympics because the legs are unfair
In that they're actually more efficient than normal legs. So whilst there probably won't be much demand on the professional atheltics circuit, I can kind of see them being a decent alternative to normal fake legs.
He, and the manufacturers appealed
and the appeal was won
