Today, the Court of Arbitration for Sport anounced that he could compete for the chance to compete in the Olympics.... he still has to qualify for the South African team, in order to get the chance to compete at the olympics...





Watch the news this weekend.... you will likely get to see clips of him running.... it is INCREDIBLE to watch!! Here's the link to read the story on CBC Sports online:

I saw that clip...that is AMAZING.

I can't believe that he had to fight to get a chance to run. The stupidity of it all...I believe it was the OLC judges who felt that he would have an ADVANTAGE with his prosthetic devices over an able bodied man!!! Really!!!

I, for one, hope that he not only qualifies, but WINS!!!

That would be nice if he wins, Goldwings! I hope they don't analyze it then and attribute it to those prosthetics...at least it's not STEROIDS or HGH!!!

Mr. Mackay,

My sister and I were talking about your children recently...I couldn't remember the third child's name....

Let me see if I recall this correctly...Taylor is the eldest,a nd he just turned 18. Abby is the yougest and she graduated from elementary last year...which makes her...13? or 14 this year? So how old is the other girl?

And the other thing my sister wondered is, How was Taylor able to graduate and yet he just turned 18? Don't schools go through grade 12 there?

This is what I dislike the most about blogs...you have to learn about the person as you go along, and you don't just meet them and their family like you would in real life if they came to your house or you met them at church or something!

God bless you,
LPP

Wow that's something!!!

Hey tell your brother to tell his boys(the Bulls) that crease-crashing isn't some thing I enjoy seeing "MY" teams do. check out the picture with CBC's story: Belleville's late burst sinks Gatineau. Yes I'll even stand up for a Leafs goalie. I've gotten hit a few time in the crease, not fun!

Go Bulls Go!!
