'Cut my other leg off'

Australian single leg amputee sprinter, Scott Reardon, describes the only way he can challenge double leg amputees despite racing against them at the IPC World Championships.

The 25-year-old finished fourth in the T42 200m final and told the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Ade Adedoyin that the consensus amongst athletes was that "things need to change" and the double leg amputee's times for the last half of the race are "so much faster" than single leg athletes are "physically capable of".
