Oscar Pistorius knocked out of London 2012 Olympics but his achievements will resound for years to come.
Oscar Pistorius’s Olympic journey ended on Sunday night but he leaves London having kicked down another door with his carbon-fibre blades.
The South African was eliminated from the 400m, finishing last in his semi-final, but his presence was always likely to be more significant than his achievements on the track.
Pistorius secured his place in sporting history by becoming the first double amputee to compete at the Olympics. He will be back in a few weeks to add to his haul of Paralympic titles, but the impact of the 95 seconds or so he spent in competitive action will reverberate longer in the sport than anything he achieves next month.
