As my Oscar blogging is slowly coming to an end, I would like to finish strong by sharing some of what I think are Oscars greatest accomplishments.

5.) After recovering from his rugby injury Pistorius ran his first competitive 100m race January 28, 2004 for Pretor La Boys High School in a time of 11.72 seconds. After the race his father looked up how Oscars time compared to the best in the world. Henk, Oscars father, discovered that his 17-year-old sons time was faster than the existing Paralympic world record of 20.20 seconds. (1)

2.) February 6 of 2012 Oscar was awarded the Laureus award for athlete with a disability. Receiving the award Pistorius said, "This is just a great privilege to be nominated, it is really humbling to be here. To all the Laureus Academy Members, all you guys and icons who a lot of us still competing look up to, thank you very much." (2)

1.) Being honored with the privilege to compete in the 2012 London summer Olympics, Oscar Pistorius jumped on his opportunity. Running in the 400m dash he took second with a time of 45.44s qualifying him for semifinals. During semifinals, Oscar had an unfortunate loss of 8th place running in with a time of 46.54s. Oscar stated with a positive attitude "Its one thing being here and another thing performing here...My aim was to make the semifinals. Its a dream come true."(3)

What an amazing life Oscar has lived so far in 25 years. His list of accomplishments could go on and on and I'm sure it will continue to due so but I hope you've enjoyed this post and hopefully find it as inspiring as I did.
