Blade Runner



Double amputee and Olympic hopeful Oscar Pistorius was disqualified yesterday for stepping outside his lane in the 400 meters. Pistorius is in a groundbreaking fight to be allowed to compete towards qualifying for the Olympics.

I don't think I'm qualified to know whether or not he should be allowed in the Olympics, or whether he has a mechanical advantage. I am, however, qualified to say that guy is bad ass. He is incredibly inspirational, and I hope he's successful in whatever avenue is afforded him.
