Hey Everyone,
I'll be doing my weekly article on someone named Oscar Pistorious. Please feel free to post you opinion on the subject. Oscar Pistorius is a famous South African Parolympic runner, he's 20 years old and his dream one day is to be in the olympics (as apposed to the parolympics). Amazingly Pistorius hasonly been running for 3 years but is already a top runner. Pistorius was born with bones missing in his legs so they created him prosthetic legs & now he wants to compete againt able-bodied people.Some people say that other runners arn't his biggest obsticle in the way to his Olympic dream because he definately is good enough but some people are wondering is that's fair.
Olympic judges say it would not be fair for Oscar Pistorius to compete against other people without a disability because prosthetic legs allow the user to run faster than normal legs, hens he has an advantage. Don't forget to post your' opinion.
