Daegu (South Korea), Sep 2: More than winning a silver medal at the world championships, double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius said Friday he wished he could have earned it by running in the 4x400-meter relay final.
One day after helping South Africa qualify for the final at the world championships, Pistorius was left out of Friday's race and could only watch his teammates finish behind the United States in a thrilling finale.
"Was really hard watching knowing I deserved to be part of it," Pistorius said in a Twitter message after Friday's race.
Instead of Pistorius, the South African team decided to go with L.J. van Zyl, who won bronze in the 400-meter hurdles late Thursday. Because Pistorius ran the heats, he got the medal nevertheless.
