The Fastest Thing on No Legs – that’s what the media call him! OSCAR PISTORIUS is causing waves in the athletics world. How fast can a disabled sprinter go? At the Paraplympic Invitational World Cup he continued to break his own world records (he has broken 19!) in the T44 for the 100m and 200m. The best was yet to come… In the Paralympic World Championships he repeated his feats in the short distances and added a world record for the 400m. He became the first disabled runner, in any category, to run the 200m in under 22 seconds (he ran 21.66) and the first to run the 400m in under 50 secs (49,43).
