He was born without the fibula bone in each leg. The main bone, which includes the shin, is the tibia; he had those. But, although the fibula is less crucial for support - it runs alongside the tibia and is smaller - its end forms half of the ankle joint. He would not have been able to walk, so his doctors recommended the legs be amputated before he got used to them and thus missed them, and before they got banged up and infected from dragging them around as he learned to crawl. Seems it was the right decision in his case!

Who is Oscar?
Oscar Pistorious is a South African Paralympic and Olympic athelete who won several medals at the 2012 Olympic Games, making history as a Track and Field star with no legs. He is nicknamed "Blade Runner" because he runs on medal blades. He has been viewed as a role model for many young people around the world and his inspirational story has been told over and over again. Pistorious was charged with murder in South Africa in February 2013 for allegedly shooting his girlfriend, a model and actress. As of this writing (February 16, 2013) Pistorious is awaiting trial for the alleged murder. He has not been condemned yet and he is innocent until proven guilty. There are rumors that Pistorious mistook his girlfriend for an intruder and he shot her through a wooden door. There are other rumors that the murder was planned for months.

What is the a way to lose weight from your legs?
Simple answer: you can't. Spot training is a myth. To lose fat on your legs, you must lose it all over - this is achieved by a healthy diet and exercise (both cardio AND weight training), and there is nothing "short" about the time it takes to do this. If you are female, your legs will likely be the last place you lose fat from.
