Oscar Pistorius was a disabled athlete from South Africa, but he never admitted that he was a disabled person. Currently, he is the world record holder of the diabled100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Because his installation "cheetah prosthesis" resembles a machete, people gave the title of “Blade” to this legless person who runs fastest in the world. When he was born, Oscar Pistorius was an unfortunate child and he was lack of fibula and ankle bone. Since it was necessary to protect his body, he had to take an operation to cut off the parts that under the knees. Instead of regarding or treating their son as a disabled person, they led him to behave like a normal person and encouraged him to participate in all kinds of sports and appreciate different kinds of products. In addition to having an amazing talent in sports, Pistorius was omnipotent after prosthesis, and he mastered boxing, rugby, water polo and tennis well. Besides, he even had a chance to join in South Africa water team. Because his knees were injured in a football game, Pistorius started practiced running to get rehabilitated. Unexpectedly, this injury indirectly mined his talent in in sprint. Therefore, he reluctantly gave up his favorite football to participate in track and field training. Just one year later, Pistorius became famous like a great monument. This Blade who got used to wearing glasses when running broke the world records of the disabled men’s 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters for 27 times. In 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, he scored the heavyweight gold medals of 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Nevertheless, he was not satisfied with the proud records in thearalympic Games, for he was eager to match with completed atheletes on the playground. In 2011, althought there was something with his artificial limb, he still got the first place in the men's 400 meter. Once Pistorius refused to park the car in a spot for the handicapped, for he never abandon himself because of his incomplete body. On the contrary, he was positive, optimistic, indomitable like a stone block to prove the significance of his life.
