Another Inspiring Olympic Story

They call him "Blade Runner."

The Olympics lost a lot of their charm when they began allowing professionals to compete, but there are still inspiring stories to be found. If you think you have troubles you can't overcome, try telling your story to this guy.

If someone told you, 20 years ago, that a man with no legs would be in the Olympic semi-finals in track and field, you would have thought they were crazy. Well, here he is.

What an amazing story! South Africa's Oscar Pistorius qualified for the semi-finals in the 400 meters. Missing both legs from the knee down. Wow!
