Athletics - Men's 200m - T44 Final - London 2012 Paralympic Games

[@MrPLittleton]

I've saved this video in my favourites and have watched it many time since the Paralympics. I love watching it, mainly because of that amazing bust of speed by Oliviera but also because of the ridiculous biased comments made by those amateur commentators who never even mentioned Oliviera's name until after he had crossed the line.

[@Sofistacation]

"came out of nowhere"... "crazy burst of speed, who knows where that came from". Unbelievably awful. The speed came from training hard, maybe?

[@JD-lz2uq]

Actually he did come out of nowhere, and it was an incredible burst of speed. To say either of those things is not biased commentary. It was a truly remarkable performance and comeback, the commentators acknowledged that

Agreed. As someone from the same city as Alan, I feel disrespected.

[@frosa78]

I love the silence in the crowd... And the frustration from the commentators. Go Brazil!

[@hewertonfeitosa]

KKKKK O silencio constrangedor depois da prova foi o melhor! Ninguém tava acreditando! Muito boa Alan Fonteneles, ganhou a prova mais importante das Paraolimpíadas de 2012!

[@natuba]

Comentarista! Nunca mais vai esquecer do Alan! e tb, ira anunciar todos!!

[@maucirzamberlancampanholi8896]

The way they ignore the Brazilian in the beginning is almost disgusting. Then during the race he almost ignore the win, a second before the end he still imposing his choice for Pistorius. A bit of ignorance and probably some prejudice involved.

[@FuriousGibbon]

I was just thinking the same thing. They introduced all the other athletes until they got to him and then it was like "Yeah, thanks for coming, enjoy the show" Well, Oliveira had other ideas.

[@caiofioravante6823]

[@LeoDeAvila]

This is way too good! Can't stop watching it! The 2 Bozos (journalists) skip Oliveira during the intro and couldn't even pronounce his name when he crossed the finished line. That was certainly the most embarrassing moment of their professional careers. Love it! :) Congratulations to THE greatest paraolympic runner of all times: Oliveira! Attaboy!

[@andremartinsferreira4573]

Alan F. C. OLIVEIRA is now the world-record holder for the T43 100m and 200m. There's absolutely no room anymore for any doubts about his potential. In London 2012 he just began to show how great of an athlete he really is. I guess it's completely fair to say he's a paralympic Usain Bolt.

[@guitarlawyer75]

Alan is the real hero. We can't possibly understand the odds he had to fight against, aside not having both his legs. His parents are not rich and he doesn't have million dollar endorsements. He's a Brazilian kid and being Brazilian and a sportsman is incredibly difficult if you're not a succesful soccer player.

[@herikabehaz]

@A Godartti Oscar is in the jail now , for shooting his girlfriend. Google it …

[@mereana8]

To be fair to Pistorius, he was disadvantaged against the Brazilian because he'd competed in the Olympics, meaning he had to use shorter blades. You'd be pretty pissed too if someone had beaten you because you'd been faster than them previously.

[@DineshKumar-dl6hr]

[@MarcOBrienHVACR]

Blades are springs. The force needed to deform a spring is: F = -kx where k is the spring constant and x is the distance the spring is deformed. The work energy is calculated: W = -kx² This means (the x²) that for a blade twice as long a person can store 4 times as much energy. So the runner starts-off slow, as he energy-charges the blades, but, like starting off slow on a trampoline, eventually they get increasingly easier leaps which can be quicker if the runner is moving mostly horizontal.

[@TheEndProject]

They are bloody amazing...

[@diegomine2542]

Grande el brasileño dejando en alto a latinoamerica

[@AlienGravy25]

It's to do with stride length, but it's still a bit of a shaky argument IMO. Other paralympians made the same complaint and like I said earlier, on the podiums after the race oscar was taller than alan when they had their walking legs on.

[@phisof91]

Alan is my new idol

[@mereana8]

I was there and I didn't even notice that! Although we were in the middle of the bend near the start, so we couldn't even see that Pisorius had been beaten until it came up on the screen.
