COMPASSION

Affirmation of life is the spiritual act by which man ceases to live thoughtlessly and begins to devote himself to his life
with reverence in order to give it true value.

Oscar Pistorius Storms To Victory In 400m

 Oscar is a great inspiration to Paralympians and all the able bodied athletes and weekend warriors because this guy works as hard as another athlete.  At least that is his reputation and it is easy to believe.  HE DID BETTER THAN HE HAD EXPECTED RACING IN THE LONDON OLYMPICS AGAINST ABLE BODIED ATHLETES!  Oscar broke "new ground' in the world of sport and changed attitudes worldwide.

The South African stormed to a 46.68 second finish - more than three seconds ahead of the field - in the final athletics event at Olympic Stadium.

After a shock 200m loss and an expected 100m one, the 400m was the one title the 25-year-old wanted to keep hold of more than any other.

It is his event, the one at which he made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete in the Olympics.

Pistorius called the victory "a highlight of my life".

The athlete is one of the the biggest draws in Paralympic sport and got a huge roar when introduced to the capacity crowd.
