Today, I’m going to speak about Oscar Pistorius.
He was born in 1986, in November, the twenty-second in Pretoria (South Africa). When he is eleven months doctors decided he must to have feet amputated because he didn’t have fibulas.
When he was child he played rugby, water polo and tennis.
In January 2004, he broke the right knee during a rugby match and he met handicapped athletes of University of Pretoria. Eight months after he run during Paralympics games in Athens with Marlon Shirley and Brian Frasure. He wins silver medals in the one hundred meters con Shirley and gold medal in the 200 meters. He runs the two hundred meters in 21,97 seconds and breaks the world record (22 seconds).
In 2005, he ran with no disabled athletes in South African championship and he was sixth.
Today, Oscar Pistorius has a big honors list (eleven gold medals, twenty seven world records…). I think he is a good example for everybody because he went after his dreams.
wawoo this man is very brave, his story show that we have to come forward in spit of life. you have reason he is an good example for every body!
