Oscar Pistorius runs out of time for Berlin bid

The Paralympic gold medallist ran a season's best of 47.07sec last week - well short of the qualifying time of 45.95.

In February the South African was in a boating accident and suffered head and facial injuries, which have hampered his training.

"Having not made the minimum qualifying time for Berlin, I must resign myself to staying at home," said Pistorius last night.
