Cool! :) When is the race? I want to watch. I haven't been watching so far. Have they started?

Can the natural legs beat the carbon fiber ones?? :)

Update on The Blade Runner....

"..."He has an unfair advantage." They are words one could never have imagined coming from the lips of Oscar Pistorius, so regularly were they said about him, and so tirelessly did he fight to overturn them. His outburst on Sunday night, after he lost to Brazil's Alan Oliveira in the T43/44 200m, opens cans of so many entangled worms it is difficult to know where to begin."

There was a special during the Olympics where they were interviewing a professor from MIT on OP having and unfair advantage. Great interview and the prof said basically no advantage and I should know. He pulls his pants leg up and wow prosthesis.

Pistorius made his own bed my running in the 'able bodied' Olympics.

Had he just competed in the Paralympics he could have used the same 'legs' he was criticizing.

There are two sets of rules for prosthesis length, one for each Olympics.
