Guest EXPAT Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Oscar Pistorius from South Africa is a total inspiration. And he came in second today in qualifications. I can't believe how positive he is and how well he does everything. It kind of makes our issues seem trivial. Quote

Guest EXPAT Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 In possibly the best Olympic quote yet, Oscar Pistorius, the bionic Olympian says that he never felt different for not having his legs growing up. "My mother used to tell us 'Carl, put on your shoes. Oscar, put on your prosthetic legs.' So I grew up thinking not that I had a disability. I grew up thinking I had different shoes." Quote
