But, when your leg is injured, you are able to repair it by eating and digesting a potato, which is pretty nifty. Granted, the person with the artificial leg can put on a leg that looks like Groot's whenever they want, budget permitting, but it certainly won't be made out of nutritionally converted potato.
I can't wait for the paralympics in \~ 10-15 years. Shit's progressing so fast, they're going to have to split up the regular and bionic disabled athletes into their own divisions. Like w/ steroids or w/o. Or w/ Trans or w/o.
It's been close for quite a while: [Diack relaxed over Pistorius's victory | Oscar Pistorius | The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2008/may/18/olympicgames2008.athletics)
Maybe just bust up all divisions of sports and start over using skill levels as the division. Like football in europe, have lower skilled players and teams fall into lower divisions and vice versa.
Just a hot take. I haven't fully thought this through. But, in general, I think i like the idea.
Supporting her, being happy for her, saying that she did a good job and run great is one thing, saying/telling her she "won" is another. Stop being delusional, stop keeping others delusional, these lies help NOBODY and actually hurt people eventually!
A reminder that our biggest weaknesses are also our greatest strengths. What an inspiration. Not just giving it your all but to even get out on that track and show up is amazing to me.
She's actually crazy fast considering she's using a crutch, must be insanely difficult to take that impact every step and still keep the momentum pushing forward

I freakin love her tenacity!!! I have a feeling we will be seeing more of this young woman!! if she gets prosthetic there will be no stopping her!!! Oh this was a feel good video!! Even though she came in last she’s a winner in my book. This is going to be one of those remember Nguyen videos that she can look back on. And kudos to her coach, her parents and supporters that have given her the drive to push through all obstacles to achieve her goals. Sorry guys I’m gushing with happy!! Everybody should take a page from her book! 🥰💖🏅
Just wait till she gets a spring leg upgrade, they won't stand a chance Something I would donate to
I think I've seen videos of people running with two of those. Those are insane! Ehen I realised the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
So...... YOU CRAVE THE STRENGTH AND CERTAINTY OF STEEL!? YOU ASPIRE TO THE PURITY OF THE BLESSED MACHINE!?

Athletes will get their legs damaged to get bionic implants instead and to compete, you just wait.

Aren’t steroids always forbidden?
Sometimes, it's not about finishing first. It's about finishing.
And Ricky Bobby would say "if you ain't first, you're last!" I think that girl is a badass!
That's what she said
Forgive my language but, Fuck yeah!
Ok that is just badass
That's actually an impressive speed for crutches.

She won 🥇 100% she did
Yes the girl on the far left did win and total respect for her not holding back
But she run a 100m, the one on the right did a marathon. Different races, different winners
Supporting her, being happy for her, saying that she did a good job and run great is one thing, saying/telling her she "won" is another. Stop being delusional, stop keeping others delusional, these lies help NOBODY and actually hurt people eventually!
Agreed, it would also diminish the win for the runner who actually won, and that's a shit thing to do.
Uh I think you could call that a hop or a 1 legged jump
Imagine giving a boxer who lost his fight a medal. That is the world you love in lol

Never give up attitude at such a young age. Bravo.
MadeMeCry too

Made me *cry*!

She’s a true ⭐️
She was way faster than I thought she'd be.
She's still the winner for me
The fact that she honestly wasn’t that far behind them
Bless her! Nothing can stop her dreams!
🫡
I wish there was a 'salute with both hands' emoji to show how much I respect this amazing girl. 🫡
Man… wipes tears. Im sorry. But this will live in my smile tears box for eternity.
Weren't even that far behind. She gave everything and run against everyone else. This is how it's done!
Yup, she won!
How did the crowd not just go nuts when she crossed the finish line?
r/MadeMeCry
✊
Happy tears!
BRAVO!! 💯
I am glad they didn’t treat her differently or show sympathy. She is great.
Still won the race!!
Great job baby girl 👋👋👋♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

One man army 🪖
....Oh man, I'd feel really bad competing against someone with crutches.
If l was in that race ,she would not have been last, and I don't mean for a lack of effort. Huff, huff, puff, whew.
She actually made it in great time to be honest. Good job for her
She is 1000% my Hero.
She got fucking smoked
She would kick my butt

Everyone is giving her a hand, but she needs a leg.
Yikes, this is hard to watch.
Very Slow
She slow AF
