Second place Golden Gala winner (and double amputee) Oscar Pistorius probably won't get to run in the Olympics this year (even though he qualifies) because his cyber legs are "too good".
I already have my 20/13 lasik eyes, when can I buy my leg upgrades? Site includes amazing video of him running in the race: http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technolog...r-too-able.html |
