Being disabled doesn't mean you have a disadvantage

The more I accomplish, the more pressure I put on myself.

I don't see myself as disabled. There's nothing I can't do that able-bodied athletes can do.

I think every athlete that’s just out here for the Olympics just does something to inspire those around them and inspire each other.

These have always been my legs. I train harder than other guys, eat better, sleep better and wake up thinking about athletics. I think that's probably why I'm a bit of an exception.

My parents didn't give me any scope to feel sorry for myself. They were just like 'go play with your brother, go climb a tree, go fall off your motorbike, do whatever you want. Don't come crying to us when you get scratched. You've got prosthetic legs - that's very nice.

I still find it strange, I suppose, when I say to someone, 'Can you just pass me my leg?' But I don't ever think about my disability.
