First, I feel badly for the girl. Spinal Bifida is a terrible cross to carry. I think it is great she is such a competitor.
That said, this judge is freaking insane.
The 200, 400, 800 and 1,600 meter runs are FOOT races. The event is a RUN not a ROLL. You can't give one of the particpants WHEELS.
If my kid had to race against her, I'd be furious. This isn't like the entire golf cart controversy that hit the PGA a few years ago. This is taking things to an entirely different level.
At all kinds of high levels of competition, there are many medically indicated drugs for all kinds of diseases and injuries that athletes are prevented from taking (for example, many cold meds will result in a positive drug test). Yet here, the court is saying one participant can roll while everybody else has to run.
On top of that, if there is a collision, who do you think is going to get hurt?
