India PM promises to rescue Delhi Games
Oscar Pistorius of South Africa runs the last bend ofthe men's 400m T44 final race during the Diamond League meeting at Crystal Palace in London on Saturday. Pistorius ran a new world record for the category in a time of 45.07 seconds. However, he still remained outside the cut for a berth as an able-bodied athlete at October's Commonwealth Games. The Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport in May last year lifted a ban on Pistorius competing in able-bodied athletics competitions. Adrian Dennis / Agence France-Presse |
