Running Prosthetics That Help Paralympians Run Faster | The Tech Race

Blessing they can do everything x10

[@Edited6]

Let's say an Olympic runner blows out his ankle, they'll recover, be able to walk, and live a decent life. But they can't hope to compete anymore. Could they find a doctor to amputate, say at the most optimal location of the leg, and move into the Paralympics? Are there rules against things like that? Would it be widely regarded as shameful?

Long distance runners with both legs amputated could have a serious advantage over those with legs because they need less oxygen

[@Uzi-nh5sr]

For all intents and purposes, even the 400m and 200m still require a significant aerobic component. It's mad to think they're basically making better legs.

That was actually disproven by a study in georgia

They have to create a new category in order to maintain the equality sport principle and to not promote the possibility in the future of people who voluntarily cuts their limbs for money.

What would happen if they have both legs removed and use that J shape, Is it possible that someone could beat Usain Bolt?

[@user-kd4mi8xb7p]

Bolt isn't perfect. Someone will eventually beat him. Maybe in the next 20-40 years.
