What An Athlete!

He is the champion runner and owner of world record for 100, 200 and 400 meters race. Still, his participation in the upcoming 2008 Olympics, Beijing, is under question. Why?

Many who know or read about Oscar Pistorius believe it as a tale of the collision of technology and sport. He is a double amputee, who runs on carbon fibre feet, and wants to run in Beijing Olympics.

Against his wish, not everyone is convinced he should run in the Olympics, against able-bodied athletes, because they feel he is 'not' any other man, but an athlete whose prosthetics give him a technological advantage.

The final decision is still pending. Lets all wish the brave and, of course, fast man to reach his dream.
