I just watched double-amputee Oscar Pistorius compete in his first heat race in the 400 meter sprint. He finished second so he will move on to the semifinal. I’m not sure how I feel about that. While they say his carbon fiber prosthetics don’t offer a competitive advantage as they can’t release any more energy than he puts into them I can’t help but wonder if they don’t store and release more energy than natural legs. Kind of like a kangaroo. In any case it is an amazing personal accomplishment for Oscar to have made it to this level of competition given his disability.
