Olympics
Oscar Pistorius has been competing for South Africa in the Paralympics for years, sprinting on two space-age prosthetic legs. But this year he qualified for the London Olympics, as a member of the South African relay team. A few years ago he won the right to compete against able-bodied runners, when the international Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that his prosthetics don’t give him an unfair advantage. Both of his legs were amputated when he was 11, because of a birth defect.
