Ipeleng "Crazy Legs" Khunou: It's unfair that I can run with able-bodied people but not in the Paralympics

from Turning Points · host Tshepo Matjila

Born with a rare brain deformity called Septo-Optic Dysplasia which affects eye-sight and balance, becoming a runner is not something anyone would have predicted for his future. Affectionately known as ‘The Crutch Runner’ or ‘Crazy Legs’, Ipeleng Psymon Khunou’s running career started when he found himself weighing 120kgs and took up the sport to shed the weight. He shares his incredible journey with us and his wishes of being the first crutch runner at the Paralympics.
