Finally! Something good about the Olympics!

21-year-old Oscar Pistorius had both of his legs amputated when he was just a small boy but that never killed his dream of competing in the Olympics.

The runner was banned earlier in the year from running at the Bejing games because of his prosthetic "blades". Some doctors said he had an advantage because he used less energy than able-bodied runners, and that his "blades" may give Pistorius a technical edge when compared to human ankles. 

But...the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled today that Pistorius WILL HAVE THE CHANCE to do what he loves to do the most...RUN!

FINALLY!!!

There has been so much negative publicity over the Olympic torch and protesters. It's nice to hear something good coming out of the Olympic craziness.

I hope Oscar makes the South African team. I want to see this guy run. That is what the Olympics are all about.
