Opinion writer for the NY Times George Vecsey has changed his mind about Olympic hopeful Oscar Pistorius. In his piece today entitled, "A Ruling on the Side of Opportunity," Vecsey writes,
"While I still have doubts about the implications of these springy lower limbs — both in magnifying speed and affecting other runners — I find myself applauding the narrow one-case judgment of the court.
"It feels better to be on the side of hope and opportunity — particularly since the three-person arbitration team backed it up, unanimously."
I'm sure all South Africans in Europe as well as back home will be rooting for Oscar Pistorius to bring home the gold!
ReplyDeleteMy endless admiration goes out to this man for his persistence, dedication and will!
