. . . south african oscar pistorius
qualified for
the 400m semi-finals . . .
. . . he was born without fibulas
and had both legs amputated
below the knee
around the time
of his first birthday . . .
. . . winner of the heat,
grenada's kirani james,
immediately sought out pistorius
{who finished eighth} . . .
. . . the significance of the race
was not lost on james . . .
. . . they traded bibs . . .
. . . and i would like
to punch olympic legend,
in the face . . .
. . . johnson claims
prosthetic limbs may provide
an "unfair advantage"
and runners who use them
should not be allowed
to compete in races
with able-bodied runners . . .
. . . who is
the real olympic "legend" here? . . .

Athletes behaving badly. Which brings me to this observation. Why, why, why, when an American such as Michael Phelps, stand on the podium to accept the gold medal, do they not bother to sing the national anthem???
I find it a bit disrespectful, after all, they are representing America up there.
Carry on :)
