Oscar Pistorious lost out to speedy Brasilian Alan Oliveira
in last night’s Paralympic 200m final (T43/44). Leading the field with 80m to
go Pistorious was flabbergasted when Brazil’s blur of blue zoomed past him to hit
the line first. The South African, who seemed to cross the line hours later
although it was actually just a matter on nanoseconds, headed towards the first
microphone he could see to vent his anger at coming second. The mike belonged
to Channel 4 and, with miraculous fortune, C4 were having a break in their
adverts for some Paralympics action. Oscar took the opportunity to blame his
miserable second place on the fact that his victorious foe was taller than him
and was thus able to run faster. Pistorious, it would seem, prefers to run
against people shorter than him so that he can beat them.
