BBCSport Oscar Pistorius has missed the qualifying time needed for him to become the first amputee sprinter to compete individually at an Olympics.

The South African ran 45,52 seconds in the 400m final of the African Athletics Championships, two-tenths short of the required mark.

He is now unlikely to be selected by the Olympic Committee despite running under the “A” standard in March.
