Inspirational? You tell us.

By now you've no doubt heard of the "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius. This bilateral below the knee amputee first earned his place in the history books when he ran in the Paralympic Games in Athens. Today he is making news for a different reason. He will be running in London this summer, but as part of the Olympic Games, not the Paralympics. In fact, he is the firstamputee ever to run in the Olympic Games.


The success of this athlete has not come without controversy. Many have argued that Pistorius' j-shaped blades, called the "Cheetah Flex Foot" give him an unfair advantage of able-bodied runners.


So we want to know what you think. Watch this ESPN video and read this USA Today story to learn more about him. Then give us your opinion. Is he inspirational? Do you wish he would continue to compete in the Paralympics or is he breaking new ground for disabled athletes? If he really wants to change things, does he have to medal? We want to hear from you!
