A Paralympian may win an Olympic Medal at #Rio2016

Last week, I was interviewed by the Danish media outlet Zetland, a cool new online portal for all kinds of radical news. This feature was about the possibility of a Danish Paralympian being competitive for a medal at the Olympic Games. While Oscar Pistorius may have been the first prosthetically enhanced athlete to take part in the Olympic Games, Markus Rehm may be a medal contender, providing he is allowed to compete.

Here is the full article, in Danish. Google translate doesn't do a bad job.

It includes this neat little video of Markus jumping
