South African athlete Oscar Pistorius won his appeal at the Court of Arbitration
for Sport on Friday. Pistorius, one of the world's best Paralympic sprinters,
wants to compete in the Olympics and the appeal gives him a chance to qualify

pair of carbon fiber prosthetics -- give him an edge over other athletes?
