What do you think about this article? Do you think prosthetics are fair? Is this a way to be fair to everyone who wants to compete or is it giving people an unfair advantage? Should these people be able to compete in competitive events like the Olympics? Why or why not

i think that untill a person with prostetic legs breaks a world record then they should be allowed to compete in whatever they want. guarunteed no one with fake legs is gonna beat usain bolt in a race anyday, so they should be able to race because they dont over power the good spinters.
ReplyDeletei think this is a tough call. whocan really say werther or not its anadvantage. maybe the man with the fake leg just works harder. hence him winning the race. though on the other hand those fake legs could inhance your chance of winning. though you cant stop a man from running just because he has a dissability. i kinda think thats wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think this article is interesting for people that are into sprots. Me on the other hand i dont like sports. Yes i do think they are fair. If someone loves a sport and then something bad happens to them i thik it is very good for them to have prosthetics, so tehy can do what they love. I think it is a fair advantage to everyone. Sports anr't sports without compitition. I think they shoul just make an Olympics just for these people. If they love a sport they will make it.
