Description

The inspirational story of the first paralympian ever to compete against able-bodied runners in world-class events.Oscar Pistorius’s legs were amputated below the knee before his first birthday. At 17 months, he received his first pair of prosthetic legs. Later, with the help of “running legs,” Oscar began sprinting in competitions—and winning them; eventually the International Association of Athletics Federations invited him to compete in international meets. Blade Runner is the story of the indomitable strength of human will and the extraordinary development, from immobilized child to world class sprinter, of one of the most gifted sportsmen on the planet.
