He wants to leg it but can't

A guy has been banned from the olympics because without legs he is better.

Where is Steve Austin when you need him?

This guy does not need him. I myself would be happy at my victory!

The mere ruling means he is superior to us. Good for him, I say!

I guess there are legitimate issues involved, especially futuristic ones, when a mechanically enhanced man/woman might be superior to any fully human athlete on the planet. Bionics to borrow from those Steve Austin, superior man days on tv.

However, I would love to see this guy run in the Olympics, win or lose. He is an inspiration to the world; most especially amputees, like himself. In my mind and heart he is already an Olympic Gold Champion because he can run again. I think his legs he runs with were designed for running, but to actually run on his artificial legs is just amazing. Okay, enough from me. Thanks for remembering this guy. I think he is pretty special too.
