Triple paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius is aiming to qualify for the Commonwealth Games as an able-bodies athlete


Triple paralympic gold medallist Oscar Pistorius is aiming to qualify for the Commonwealth Games as an able-bodies athlete.

The double amputee will be looking to make the 46-second mark required to qualify for the Games at the Diamond League meeting in Crystal Palace.

The 23-year-old clocked a personal best time of 46.02 second in 400m last months in Italy and could well be under 46 second in Crystal Palace. He, however, remains non-committal on whether he would actually participate in the event.
