    ability
    They call him the fastest man on no legs. / Hes also known as the Blade Runner. / His real name is
    Oscar Pistorius, and he holds world records in the 100-, 200- and 400-metre events. / Whats special
    about Pistorius, though, is that he doesnt have legs. He runs with the help of two carbon-fibre artificial
    legs.
    Pistorius was born with a congenital disease / and had both legs amputated below the knee when he
    was almost a year old. / But by the age of 11 he was playing rugby, water polo and tennis. / In 2004,
    Pistorius began running in competitions in his home country of South Africa. / He never looked back.
    He has won many Paralympic events, but Oscar Pistorius dream is to go to the Olympics. / His
    trainers say Pistorius has the ability to run against able-bodied athletes. / However, the International
    Association of Athletics Federations says that his artificial legs give him an unfair advantage as they
    make him less tired than runners with real legs. /Finally, after several appeals, Pistorius was allowed to
    qualify for the Olympics.
    Oscar Pistorius plans to compete regularly against able-bodied athletes./ His sporting motto is: Youre
    not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have.

    Note: / indicates where the speaker should pause to allow students to catch up.
