I read this interesting post about how a strong willed man overcome his disability and regular, able-bodied athletes are using every dirty trick in the book to ensure that this man without any legs is ineligible for participation in the Beijing Olympics.
Well they should be scared, Oscar Pistorius, the 21-year-old South African paralympic, can run 400m in just 46.34 seconds (against the 8 year old world record by Michael Johnson of 43.18 seconds).

I am not sure but isn’t there a seperate Olympic event for the physically challanged?
@amit…
there is one, but that does not mean that he cannot participate in the regular Olympics…. how can you stop someone from living life like an ordinary citizen
i read about this in the news. its a very good thing. we dont have to label them as challenged. I think everyone should be given a chance to participate.
exactly my point 🙂 thanks for agreeing
Very inspirational article!!!
It is lesson for everyone, wherever there is a will there is a way.
