Sebastian Cervantes
I have a good time doing this
newspaper because I felt like a
professional doing it, and we
learn how people with different
capacities do they better to win a
medal for their country
My opinion about this magazine is that it
improves our ability to work in teams and
therefore our ability on how to
encourage, enhance, produce
information in the form of magazine and I
liked that I can find out about a great
event that had no idea as it was not
anything like that.

we learn that nothing is impossible for anyone and when you
want to do something the only one stop are you.
Pistoruis
The IAAF declared ineligible to compete in the Federation-
sanctioned tests, including the Beijing Olympics in 2008.
Pistorius appealed this decision and finally the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS) allowed to compete in the Beijing
Olympics. To run in the 400 meters should have obtained the
minimum mark that requires the federation to every athlete, but
did not get it. It could have been selected for the 4x400 relay
test regardless of their time, but neither was the case.
He was selected to participate in the World Championships in
Daegu in 2011 (South Korea) in 400 meters and 4x400 relay in,
which reached the
semifinals and
won the silver
medal with the
South African
team in the 4 ×
400 relay.
On 4 July 2012 the
South African
Olympic
Committee confirmed the athlete to attend the 2012 London
Olympics, becoming the first double amputee athlete who
manages to be on a date Olympic.
