Blade Runner

Earlier this year, E:60 profiled 21-year-old South African amputee Oscar Pistorius during his international campaign to compete as an able-bodied sprinter in the Summer Olympics in Beijing. He was banned by the world governing body of track and field which held that Pistorius would not be allowed to compete against able-bodied athletes because his high-tech prosthetics called “Cheetahs” give him an unfair advantage. In May, the ban was overturned, but in July Pistorius was unable to make the Olympic qualifying time in the 400 meters.

Today, Pistorius is home in South Africa training for the 2008 Paralympic Games that open September 6 in Beijing. He is also aiming to compete at next year’s World Championships in Berlin, and at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. E:60 correspondent Jeremy Schaap updates the “blade runner” story.

I fucking hate that guy so much. I hate the idea that we have to give everyone a fair shot just because they're "different"
