  2. Who? How dare you ask who this news article is about!? This is about the amazing and inspiring Oscar Pistorius. This man is inspiring because he can run with legs that aren’t actually legs. I think that he’s amazing because of all the same reasons that he is inspiring. There was another question here I just know it! Um, er, I know what it is, don’t rush me. Oh, I need to tell you his personal stats! His best time for the 100m run is 10.91 seconds in South Africa, April 2007. Oscar’s best time in the 200m run is 21.41 seconds in South Africa, March 2010. His best time in the 400m run is 45.07 seconds in Italy, July 2011. Enough of those boring facts. Now it’s time to go to the “What” section.

  3. What? Oscar Pistorius competed in the 400 meter sprint in the London 2012 summer Olympics. The name of this sport is pretty self-explanatory but, I’m going to explain it just for fun. This is a sport where people run 400 meters. That wasn’t as fun as I expected. I guess we have to go to the “When” section now.

  4. When? This amazing athlete was born on November 22, 1986. That would make him 25, turning 26 soon. Oscar’s first race of the Olympics was August 4. I could not find the other days that he competed on. Oscar first started running when he was 16 after he shattered his knee playing rugby. Doctors said his sporting career was over after that incident but Oscar didn’t give up. "You are not disabled by the disabilities you have, but abled by the abilities you have" -Oscar Pistorius

  5. Where? Oscar Pistourius was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. The venue for the 400 meter sprint was at the Olympic stadium in London. I’m sorry this section is short but there were only 2 questions so don’t blame me. No that does not mean blame Ms.Chan.

  6. Why? I chose Oscar for my project because he is very inspiring. This athlete was born without a fibula in either of his legs, but he didn’t let that stop him. I am not sure why Oscar chose this spot but, my inference is that he chose this sport to prove to the world that even a double amputee can run as long as you practice hard and believe. I know that last part is really cheesy but, I believe that it’s true. Now that I’m done with my belief, let’s head on to the “How.”

  7. How? This section has more inferring because you can’t just search and find an answer immediately. Oscar probably trains by practising every day. Some people who coached him along the way would be his parents, siblings and after the amputation his rehabilitation doctor.
