THE BLADE RUNNER
South African Oscar Pistorius in action during the men’s
400-metre semi-final at the 2012 Olympic Games in
London. The highly decorated Paralympian athlete
became the first-ever amputee runner to compete at an
Olympic Games. In February 2013 he shot and killed
Reeva Steenkamp, his girlfriend, and at a media-
covered trial he was found guilty of culpable
homicide, but not murder.
