I cannot agree with both statements, as I understand it, the original competion only allowed men who could speak Greek to participate, so the 'spirit of the Olympics' isn't so clear cut
But , imo, so what if this guy can run faster on his 'blades' than a person without them, he should still be allowed to compete, if he wins he will deserve the Gold Medal for sheer persistence - imho
