How convenient for Oscar then that his both calf muscles are made out of carbon and don't fatigue. On top of that his low leg is significantly lighter than non-amputees, though whether this is a curse or a blessing is arguable. Oscars main 'advantage' over fellow amputees that he grew up wearing prosthetics and had the funds to get ones that are good enough to train on. I can't imagine a Jamaican bilateral amputee being in the same situation. The problem is that at the moment he's a one of a kind, which makes comparisons pretty much useless. Regardless of it all, his achievements are impressive and he's an example for a lot amputees. Edit: Here's a link to a literature review I wrote about him 4 years ago.
