Pistorius, a double below-the-knee amputee since childhood who runs on J-shaped carbon fibre prostheses, sensationally lost his first 200m race in nine years on Sunday when Brazil’s Alan Oliveira came from behind in the home straight to take the sprint on the line at the Olympic Stadium. The 25-year-old South African, who took silver, then claimed at trackside that he was at a disadvantage because his fellow competitors were “a lot taller” and he was unable to compete with their stride length.
