It's sad that he lost his legs but it's amazing that he would be able to do that. I would never be able to do it.

That is soo beast that they made something like that for people with disabilities such as his. And he did it fighting for our country.. He is a true hero! If he would have won then he would have been such a model to people and especially children with disabilities. He would be able to put out the message that you can do anything you put your mind to.

Wow. That's pretty cool that he was able to place 5th in a handcycle race. To tell you the truth, I never even knew that handcycles were made until I red that article.

How do you turn? That's pretty cool that there is a handcycling event. There must be a lot of people that handcycle if they're finishing a minute after another.

That is really sad that he had his two legs taken away from him. But it is really cool that he can do that though and they have a bike for it. Also it is really cool that you know him.
