Oscar Pistorius, a double-amputee, was born in South Africa without fibulae in his lower legs

When he was only eleven months old, his legs were amputated below the knee. When still a child, he started used artificial legs so he could run during rugby games. As an adult, he competed in 400-meter races wearing carbon-fiber prosthetic legs. The international governing body for track and field ruled that he was ineligible to compete in the Beijing Olympics in 2008, as the prosthetic legs violated their rule against springs or wheels.
