Jason Lester won ESPY upsetting heavily favored physically challenged 400-meter runner Oscar Pistorius of South Africa by winning the 2009 ESPY Award.

Richard Roll led Ultraman Day 1, then suffered a hard solo bike crash at the beginning of the second day that put gouges in his arm, leg and shoulder. He could not lift his arm up to shoulder, but finished 171-mile bike and 52.4 mile run to place 6th.  http://www.slowtwitch.com/Opinion/The_best_brightest_and_bravest_of_2009_1151.html
