I can't believe this. Oscar P, who clearly has a technological advantage as compared to able bodied runners in the 400 as no one negative splits a 400, lost the 200 at the 2012 Paralympics today and then complained the guy who beat him has an unfair advantage.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/disability-sport/19460868
Oscar P said:
"I'm not taking away from Alan's performance but I can't compete with Alan's stride length.
Now the guys blades were measured before the race. Ironically, the Science of Sport guys have pointed out Oscar actually took less steps in the race than the winner so Oscar P's stride length is longer.
