From the 27th of July until the 12th of August 2012 the games of the 30th Olympiad took place in London. The 4th of August was a particularly special day in the history of the Olympics as it was the day that the heats of the men‟s 400m took place. There is a reason the men‟s 400m heats at the 2012 London Olympics were arguably more special than any that had gone before. South African runner Oscar Pistorius became the first athlete to compete at the Olympic Games while running on prosthetic limbs. Pistorius is a double below the knee amputee (T43 under the Paralympic classification system) who runs on Jshaped carbon fibre blades. He represents a fusion of humanity and technology that will become an increasingly pressing issue for the sporting arena in coming years
