Dude can fly. It's gonna be great to watch this.

Cool. I have mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, he is able to compete despite a handicap, yet I feel the "mechanical advantage" argument has some merit. Either way, good for him for sticking with it.

I admire his dedication and athleticism. I don't admire his go-go gadget prosthesis which give his a competitive edge. Next, will we see a jet-pack powered paraplegic? Doesn't seem fair to me.

-Great Story
-Shouldn't be allowed to compete.

Just look at the top times for wheelchair marathoners, 10Ks... They're faster than people on legs. It's great that they are competing, but it is not a level playing field.

doubtful that he even qualifies, but he'll get an invite to run on their relay team.
