You. Have. No. Idea.
I'm on the verge of throwing my TV out the window!!!!


But silver is still good.
Viva SA ;)

EDIT: Not pleased with Oscar's dispute. Maybe he's right, but for now he sounds like a really sore loser.

Controversial words from Oscar. Is it a fair point or bad sportsmanship?

The interesting thing about his comment is that Oscar too was targeted once upon a time for his blades giving him an advantage over regular athletes. Seems like we've come full circle.

Oscar Pistorius got silver in the 200m and in the post-race interview, he claimed that the winner's blades were too high, which gave him an unfair advantage.

Thanks funthing. Is there a statutory height for these blades I wonder?

I wonder when is the 400m and 100m final with Oscar Pistorius?
