Oscar Pistorius targets Commonwealth Games after strong start to season
[Wednesday, May 26, 2010 09:15:44]The South African, nicknamed 'Blade Runner' due to his carbon-fibre running prostheses, clocked 48.83sec in winning the T44 400metres at the BT Paralympic World Cup.
His time at the Manchester Regional Arena was over a second down on his world record of 47.49 and adrift of his personal best – set in able-bodied competition – of 46.25, but revived hopes Pistorius could compete in the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, after two years of disruption.
