Blade runner Pistorius eyes 45s Olympics barrier
Oscar Pistorius said Wednesday he is targeting breaking the 45 second barrier in the 400m as he prepares to become the first double amputee athlete to compete in the able bodied Olympics. The South African, known as Blade Runner because he runs with carbon fibre prosthetic running blades, competed in the Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Paralympics. But the 25 year old can now make his debut in the Olympics following studies that found his prosthetics give him no advantage over his able bodied rivals. Duration:01:17
