**double-amputee** moves closer to Olympic spot
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- **Oscar Pistorius** beat the 400-meter
qualifying mark for the second time Saturday, moving the South African closer
to becoming the first amputee to compete at the Olympics.
Pistorius, 25, a double-amputee using carbon fiber blades, finished in 45.2
seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than the mark. He ran a 45.07 last year and now
must top the time at an international race once more to qualify.
"I am trying to take it all in," said Pistorius, who last year became the
first amputee to compete at the world championships. "When I … saw the time,
it was such a magical moment."
Pistorius' next race has not been determined.
