It would be interesting if she wanted to compete in swimming competitions. Wasn't there an amputee runner with special spring loaded lower legs who was not allowed to run in the olympics or someother race event? And what about the guy in the Masters golf tournaments who had trouble walking and they didn't want him to ride in his golf cart.

The sprinter finally got the OK from the judges but just wasn't fast enough to make the cut. He still hopes to meet the 2012 Olympics though.
