The able-bladed

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
— Theodore Roosevelt

He is why you should never give up on anything.

Unfortunately, the IAAF decided today that Oscar Pistorius is ineligible to compete in Beijing 2008 because his running "blades" give him an unfair advantage [eyes rolling] over able-bodied athletes. Hmmmph, who would've thought? :-p

The Olympic Creed

The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.

The Olympic Motto

Citius, Altius, Fortius.

(Faster, Higher, Stronger)

Best wishes to Oscar in his continuing pursuit toward excellence.
