Man vs Machine
Personally I applaud the athlete for his achievement. That being said, competing against other athletes without the same "equipment" seems unfair at best and not a proper match.
This smacks of the "No Child left behind" movement where every child gets a trophy because they competed. What does this teach our children about competition? Nothing. When they're faced with competing with their peers for jobs or anything else in life they expect that they will get a reward REGARDLESS of their efforts.
This is not the way to promote competition among our youth. There has always been and always will be competition among any animals, humans included. We compete for resources, mates, and anything and everything worth having. How about we try and insure an even playing field and start by giving everyone the example we have here.
