Reading the story about the one legged wrestler (Anthony Robles), it got my interested about other athletes that have had success while having some type of physical disadvantage. What really caught my interest, and a question that I wanted to explore on was Have there been any other instances in sports where having a physical disadvantage is considered cheating some people’s eyes.

Their connection with the spirit of nature is unbreakable. In a small village in Eyak, children a young age are taken down to the water or inside the woods to learn useful hunting methods that were passed down from their grandparents (Stowers, 2016).

Brinford learned one strategy that Nelson never mentioned and that’s hunting big and small games like bear and foxes from up in a tree stand (Binford, 1978).…
