Hmmm. Unfair advantage? I dunno. The real test of that will be if other athletes start having their legs chopped off and replaced with similar prosthetics so they can get the same advantage...

Instead of accusing of discrimination, I would have preferred he just told them “that’s fine. Check them out. Can I help?”

Perhaps it would be fairer if he had to wear a major manufacturer’s shoes on them.

Astonishing that he can run that fast without calf muscles. It would be intersting to see how he starts out of the blocks, since he has no toes.

Time for Harrison Bergeron to make an appearance. Perhaps the governing body would be satisfied if the carbon fibre were changed out for wet spaghetti or if it wore weights.

I think I saw this guy running along Lake Shore Drive in Chicago within the past couple of years. From the side, his equipment makes his legs look like those of a velociraptor. It was quite striking.
