This article discusses the unfair advantage that a disabled runner has in the olympics. He has prosthetic legs, that are built to run faster with springs and can keep getting improved over time.

Two details
- The runner has an advantage that no other one has, because his legs are able to be upgraded and get better without any hard work.
- the legs he has are made of springs and metals

Two questions
- How did they address the runner after his performance?
- Did they change the rules, because of him?

I dont understand prosthetic.

I do not understand the meaning of the word.

Prosthetic - denoting an artificial body part, such as a limb, a heart, or a breast implant.

Do you feel it is fair for the other runners?
