By Sylvia Mendoza

No whining, no blaming, no pity parties. This is living. Oscar Pistorius should be the new poster guy for Nike.  Just Do It!

Can hardly wait for the Olympics to start. Go Oscar!

 

Oscar Pistorius is going to the Olympics: Oscar Pistorius has been selected to run in both the individual 400 metres and the 4×400-metre relay at the London Olympics and is set to become the first amputee track athlete to compete at any games.In a surprising last-minute decision Wednesday, South Africa’s Olympic committee and national track federation cleared the double amputee to run in his individual event.
