The Fastest Man On No Legs

The Fastest Man On No Legs is the exclusive story of the man nicknamed "The Blade Runner". At the Beijing Olympics, will a double amputee sprinter running on hi-tech metal blades take on the world's best able-bodied athletes?

Oscar Pistorius was born without bones in his lower legs, and was 11 months old when his parents made the painful decision to have his legs amputated. In their wildest dreams, they never thought he'd later sprint his way into the record books. At the age of 17, he won the sprint gold medal at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens.
