That guy is amazing.

Maybe he should have competed w/ athletes with disability to qualify for the Paralympics. If he even says he has an unfair advantage at the Olympics then he shouldn't be running there.

That stinks. He can still be amazing without participating in the Games. He could even chalk it up to boycotting Beijing.

No, you misunderstood. HE doesn’t think he has an unfair advantage – the IAAF thinks so. Don’t know how having no legs is supposed to give you an unfair advantage? In all fairness: the poor guy can’t get out of the blocks as fast as the athletes that he competes with..
Btw. He did compete in the Paralympics when he was only 17. Broke every single record.

Oh, I gotcha. Sorry

I hope to see the technology get so great that one day there will be no Paralympic games.

Hmm that's kinda hot to decide. (Though, it has been 20 mins that I am trying to post a reply but I always keep writing too much.)

Shortly put: I think that IAAF is trying to keep every discipline seperated, since O.P. is too much of an exception to really fit in the abled crowd. I don't think it's a matter of sympathy or pity but more to keep the image of that discipline like everyone always saw it: running people. I kind of understand their decidion.

I'll say it that way as an analogy: I don't have a driver licence. Am I allowed to race against cars with my bicycle?

(I made the reply as small as I could )

My two cents: If the guy is good enough to compete: let him. If people think that he has an unfair advantage because of the blades – fair enough. But the guy is amazing. At least let the records that he broke in the Paralympics count, right? This is a quote on a website I found on him:
'The 20-year-old has run significantly faster than his 200m and 400m world records - he's registered a 21.34 and an astonishing 46.56 respectively - but the times were not counted by the International Paralympic Committee because they came in competition against athletes without disability.
The funny thing is: the ruling body for so-called "able-bodied" athletics, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), was apparently not impressed with Pistorius' efforts, either'

My boy took 3 gold medals and a new world record!
