Sheriff Roland:
Yesterday, the double amputee Oscar 'Blade Runner' Pistorius (from South Africa) came in second in his heat and will be competing today in the semi-final of the 400 m race.
He's not expected to medal, but he might just make it to the finals.
In an interview, he said that he'd always been athletic and when he was a kid, he believed that he simply had different kind of shoes.

THat´s awesome...I love that he finally were allowed to compete. I keep my fingers crossed he will do a exellent heat both semi-final and final.
Kelda:
I love his shoes comment.. that's fab! Team gb are doing great.. 3 golds in an hr last night and 3 medals in 5 mins today!
Sheriff Roland:
Well, Pistorius came in last in his 400m semi-finals. He will again run in a relay race later on during these Olympics.
Also, concerning the Canadian women's soccer team, they will play with the Americans in their semi-finals. They're record against the Americans? 3 wins, 5 ties and some 43 losses! That's what I call underdogs! ;)
BTW, it's been about 11 years since the last win for Canada.
oilgun:
Oscar Pistorius is certainly easy on the eyes.
