RIO DE JANEIRO - Oscar Pistorius is gone and so far there's been no replacement for the first athlete to compete in both the Paralympics and Olympics. But with athletes pushing at the boundaries of what is disabled sport and what is able-bodied sport, Pistorius' revolution certainly hasn't gone away. The current leader in the race to become the second person ever to shift between the Paralympics and Olympics is German long jumper Markus Rehm. "After the Paralympic Games in Rio, I'm going to continue talking to the IAAF to find a solution to compete in London 2017, the next Championship.... Pistorius did things that have nothing to do with sport, but he also opened the door for para-athletes like me," he said.
