Life changing decision to become a blade runner

Etchegaray Nguluwe has represented Namibia at the the World Championships and Commonwealth Games. The runner was born with a club foot but struggled to compete against sprinters with blades. In March of 2016, he made the decision to amputate his lower leg, in order to be fitted with a blade. His coach believes it's changed his life.
