Cyborgs are not allowed in the Olympics

From Sportsfilter. While what this guy's accomplished is terrific, I agree with the decision to not let that guy run in the Olympics. It's a bad precedent. The technology isn't that far off to really provide some athletes with true, noticeable mechanical advantages. It's sure interesting to watch though.

    No. Those blades are like wheels, except not wheel shaped.
