South Africa reinstated in 4x400metres relay after ... - BBC World News

Oscar Pistorius?s Olympic dream is alive and well after the South African 4x400metres relay team was reinstated despite failing to finish their heat. Oscar Pistorius (right) sinks to his knees as South Africa team-mate Willem de Beer comes over to console him (Picture: Reuters) The double amputee impressed on his way to the semi-finals of the individual 400m but a collision between his team-mate Ofentse Mogawane fell on the second leg of the relay after a collision with a Kenyan runner, denying Pistorius, who was due to run the third leg, a chance to even show what he was capable of in the relay. Afterwards, Pistorius said the team were ?pretty gutted?, but on appeal the team who won silver at last year?s world championships were reinstated after it was deemed that they had ?been severely damaged in the incident with Kenya?.
