Oscar Pistorius

Oscar Leonard Carl Pistorius was born 22 November 1986, and is a South African Sprint runner. People have named him "Blade Runner" and "the fastest man on no legs"

I have chosen to research Oscar as he has metal legs making him a cyborg. From this he is one of the best runners and people say he has an unfair advantage as he has 'a machine' helping him run. I don't feel it is unfair, as I feel its extordinary that a person can get on so well with a robotic leg, making them a cyborg put together.
Although him and his legs are really I may use this kind of technique in my own work, 'springy legs'. This will help me to get the cyborg affect that I am after.
