Blade Runner
Tom Holligan and Rebecca Caswell meet Oscar Pistorius (‘Bladerunner’).
As part of his visit to Scotland, Pistorius met with members of the Bank of Scotland Talented Athlete Sprints and Disability Squads at a specially arranged training session at Pitreavie Athletics Centre on Friday evening. The young athletes had the opportunity to put their own questions to him and pick up invaluable advice on training and event preparation from one of the world’s most inspiring athletes.
