really wanted this dude to somehow win. it's not an advantage, they did an entire segment on it before.

Does Oscar Pistorius have an unfair advantage? Answer unclear - David Epstein - SI.com

SI spoke with eight independent physiologists and biomechanics experts who had no involvement with testing Pistorius, and all eight agreed that Pistorius has abnormally low leg-swing times, stemming from the lightness of his prostheses. Four felt that Pistorius has an advantage over his competitors, while four said that the low swing time is an advantage but that there may be other potential disadvantages to the prostheses that must be studied in more detail before they could say if Pistorius should be allowed to race against intact runners. "It's innocent until proven guilty," Herr says.

I don't really understand the furore over Oscar Pistorius. I say let him run. Him and his blades are like a regular runner using an Ace bandage.
