Oscar Pistorius

AKA "Bladerunner" Jul 23, 2007 at 11:28
Must be one of those days where I need to be reminded that no matter how bad a day I seem to be having, no matter how jammed the traffic, the people annoying, the everything, it is never an excuse to feel 'sorry' for yourself. First we have (below) the wheelchair Xgames candidate, now, we have Oscar Pistorius the double amputee who is SO FAST that he has won all the paralympic events and is SO FAST that he is faster than female Olympic times, and is now trying to qualify for the 'normal' Olympics. From what I can gather, the IOC is shutting him down. Gee, there's a surprise. God I hope he gets in, what a friggin' champ. You have to check out THIS PHOTO. Awesome.

Watch his running and story here on YouPube, also pretty cool is his cut Nike commercial. And if you realy love Nike and sport, the full one here.

Good on him, those times are awesome. It makes the rest of us look pretty shit he can do that with no legs. That Nike ad is rad too!

Hey Oscar doing it for South Africa!!! Really hope they allow him to compete again. They won't allow him to run they say his prostetic legs give him an advantage. I seriously doubt that... Big up Oscar
