After a long dispute with the IAAF about the blades that he runs on, this guy finally got his dream. He holds the world record in his paralympic division for the 100, 200 and 400m, and now he's running with the so-called "able bodied" guys. He wants to compete in the Olympics next year and although he's way off medal or probably even final standard, I say good luck to him. I really admire him.
Of course competing with the best can only make him better, and that will be great for disability sport. Just goes to show to all those disabled kids, that it doesn't mean they're any less able than those without a disability.
I know that some people don't think his participation is fair, so it'd be nice to hear other people's views.
