What's Your Excuse? Fastest Man on No Legs; The Blade Runner

Fastest Man on No Legs. Known as the Blade Runner, Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius is the fastest man on no legs. Pistorius holds the world record of double amputee runner in 100, 200 and 400 events. This fastest man on no legs born on 22 November 1986 without bones in his both lower legs, and when he was 11 months old, his parents made decision to amputate his legs. They never thought he later sprint his way into the world record books. He runs with J-shaped carbon-fibre prosthetics called the "Cheetah Flex-Foot" manufactured by Icelandic company, Ossur.

Although eligible to compete in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Pistorius did not qualify for the South African team. Watch the video about judgment on his 'unfair' advantage of his legs.
