在伦敦奥运会男子400米预赛中，有一名选手格外引人注目。他没有双脚，有的却是一对金属假肢。他就是被誉为“刀锋战士”的南非选手奥斯卡·皮斯托瑞斯。

In London the men's 400 meters in the heats，Have a player particularly noticeable。He had no feet，Others are a pair of metal prosthetic。He is known as is“blades”South Africa's oskar skin stowe rui si。

　　皮斯托瑞斯1986年11月出生于约翰内斯堡，由于双腿先天缺少腓骨，他在11个月大时接受了截肢手术。但这并没有妨碍他日后对运动的热爱。上学期间，皮斯托瑞斯曾打橄榄球、水球和网球。因为父亲曾是摔跤运动员，他甚至还参加过摔跤比赛。2003年6月，皮斯托瑞斯在橄榄球比赛中受重伤，运动生涯不得不改向。2004年1月，他开始练习短跑，不久就成绩斐然，第一次参加200米比赛就跑出了24.1秒的成绩，第一次100米比赛的成绩是11.78秒，此后还创造了残疾人100米跑世界纪录。

Skin stowe rui si in November 1986 was born in Johannesburg，Because congenital lack legs fibula，He in 11 months accepting amputation。But this did not prevent him from the future to a love of sport。During school，Skin said he had stockton played football、Water polo and tennis。Because my father was wrestling athletes，He even participated in a wrestling match。June 2003，Skin stowe rui si in the football game seriously wounded，A sports career had to redirection。January 2004，He began the practice of the dash，Soon achieved great success，The first time to participate in the 200 metres race run the 24.1 seconds of results，The first of the 100-meter race scored 11.78 seconds，Since then created the disabled world record in the 100-meter run。

　　小时候，皮斯托瑞斯经常跟哥哥卡尔一起参加运动。每天早上，母亲希拉会告诉他们：卡尔，穿上你的鞋子；奥斯卡，戴上你的假肢。因此，在皮斯托瑞斯看来，假肢就是他“与众不同的鞋子”而已。但国际田联并不这么认为，2008年1月，国际田联认定假肢会让他比健全人更有优势，因此不许他参加健全人的体育比赛。皮斯托瑞斯随后上诉，国际田联的决定虽在当年5月被推翻，但皮斯托瑞斯还是因为没有及时获得参赛资格而错过了北京奥运会。2011年皮斯托瑞斯参加了田径世锦赛，国际田联要求他在接力比赛中必须跑第一棒，因为怕他的假肢伤害到其他运动员。在伦敦奥运会前，国际田联终于表示他可以和其他运动员一样跑任意一棒。

When I was a kid，Skin stowe said he often with brother Carl together in sports。Every morning，Mother sheila will tell them：Carl，Put on your shoes；Oscar，Put on your prosthetic。so，Stowe said he looks in the skin，Prosthesis is he“Special shoes”just。But the iaaf doesn't think so，January 2008，Iaaf prosthesis that would let him have more advantages than JianQuanRen，So that he attend JianQuanRen sports games。Skin stowe said he then appeal，The decision of the iaaf though that was overthrown in May，But leather stowe said he still because no timely qualified and missed the Beijing Olympic Games。In 2011, said he attended Woodstock skin track and field world championships，Iaaf asked him in the relay RACES must run the first leg，Because be afraid that he prosthetic damage to other athletes。Before the Olympics in London，Iaaf finally says he can and other athletes run any good。

　　第一次参加奥运会的皮斯托瑞斯在8月5日的男子400米预赛中跑出了45秒44，成功晋级半决赛，完成了自己在赛前制定的目标。“这真是最令人惊叹的经历！”皮斯托瑞斯在预赛后说，“我不知道是应该笑还是应该哭。”的确，虽然只是在奥运会的预赛中亮相，但是皮斯托瑞斯的经历却非其他人能够想象。

　　“奥斯卡跑进了奥运会历史，”南非《星期日时报》和南非通讯社在报道皮斯托瑞斯时说，他是奥运会历史上第一位双腿截肢运动员，他在伦敦创造了历史。皮斯托瑞斯首次参加奥运会也引起了全世界的关注。有网友表示，皮斯托瑞斯的故事体现了奥运精神，这是“奥运会历史上最鼓舞人的故事”。皮斯托瑞斯的故事还将在伦敦奥运会上继续，之后他还将在残奥会上争取卫冕3项短跑冠军。“我的信念是，一旦开始做某件事，就要做好。”他说，失败者并不是那些参加比赛却跑在最后的人，而是那些根本没有参与竞争的人。
