Thank you for the detailed reasoning.
Could you also explain why I can't duct tape springs to my leg and compete???
That guy is a normal person.
There is no scientific evidence that he has a net advantage over able-bodied runners.
Then we should sign him up for the army or maybe being a firefigther. Oh wait...
Why couldn't he be in the Army?
If he wins, he has advantage. If he loses, now why would he want to compete in the first place???
But since you wanted an argument, because the spring legs ALTER his body so much so that, well see the previous 2 sentences. His legs are most likely lighter than a normal leg, they don't get tired,hurt,etc. so yes, there are advantages. Tell me this: will he ever get a cramp in his foot?
He can't wear the standard issue boots...

Yes, he's not normal, but so what?
Don't discriminate him, or disqualify him. Just because he is a little different. We are all different. An for the record there are some in the military who are. Missing a leg.
Where is this guy from? What's his name? There is a reason he is there representing his country. An he is I am guessing the most qualified they have to represent. He most likely won't win. But that's not the point. He is there for his country....
