Pistorius lost both his legs when he was 11 and now runs on a pair of carbon-fiber Flex Foot Cheetahs, also known as running blades. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) says that the use of the Cheetah blades allows Pistorius to consume less energy while sprinting, based on a study performed by Professor Peter Bruggemann on Pistorius and six other able-bodied athletes.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://dvice.com/archives/2008/01/5_mechanical_tr.php"><FONT size="3">5.
