I

Oscar Pistorius can run faster than almost anyone on eart h , which is q uite an amazing accomplishment when you consider the fact that he has no legs. A double amputee and a world-class sprinter, he has forced the athletics world to deal with some difficult questions. 5

Pistorius was born in South Africa in 1 986. At the age of 1 1 months, both his legs were amputated below the knee because of a birth defect. Despite this devastating disability, he became an athlete at a young age, competing with able-bodied boys in rugby, water polo, wrestling and tennis. In 2004, he took up running and has never looked back.

10

I

Pistorius won a gold medal at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, but he wanted to compete in the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 . After all , his times were as good as those of many top, able-bodied runners. However, the I nternational Amateur Athletic Association, the IMF, ruled against his request.

15

The reason for the IMF's decision was Pistorius' high-tech prosthetics, called Cheetahs - a pair of J -shaped blades especially designed for running. According to the IMF, the Cheetahs make Pistorius taller and lengthen his stride, giving

20

him an unfair advantage. They also feared that Pistorius' case would set a precedent , opening the way for all sorts of robotic enhancements in sport. They even raised the question of whether, in the future, athletes might seek an advantage by replacing healthy limbs with artificial ones.

25

Pistorius and his coach appealed the decision , pointing out the d isadvantages created by the Cheetahs. They also reminded the world of the obvious - that only through superhuman determination and willpower had Pistorius overcome such difficult circumstances. "I train harder than other guys, eat better, sleep better and wake up

30

thinking about athletics , " said Pistorius. "I think that's probably why I ' m a bit of an exception. " The decision of the IMF was overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the CAS, making Pistorius eligible to compete at Beijing . I ronically, he failed to meet the requ i red qualifying time

35

for the 400-metre sprint , so he could not join the South African Olympic team . However, Pistorius is still determined to compete against able-bodied athletes. Meanwhile, his story has raised many issues concerning technology in sport. Today's athletes use everything from space-age swimsuits to oxygen tents in order to

40

enhance their performance. As science advances, what will be allowed and what will not?
