Oscar Pistorius is an extraordinary athlete who runs with prostheses. He confides to the magazine Marie Claire long this month. He talks about his disability, his youth and his love life. He is quite a runner in every sense of the word …

“It is the others who have had to
suffer for not being quite like me. My parents had decided once and for all that I would do exactly the same things as my brother and sister, same schools, same sports, same distractions … “

“I hated  that they treat me differently, and equally manifestations of pity. I hated it. (…) The pity is a feeling that I hate. My disability has not changed anything in my life. ‘

He also talks about his love life: “Every man should be seen as a seducer. It is our job to hunt. A woman should not bother with this part of the job, sometimes laborious. She must be considered herself as a special lady that is not easy to covet. ‘

“I take care of myself to provide something nice”

“I know why I run, I do not seem to fathom when I fight. I pommel my body and I commend it for fear of being rejected after preaching to others. ‘
