Pistorius And Weir Claim World Cup Golds
May 25, 2009
South African Oscar Pistorius and Britain’s David Weir both thrilled the crowds with victories at the BT Paralympic World Cup in Manchester.
Pistorius showed he has recovered from a boating accident earlier this year with wins in the T44 100m and 400m.
“I’m happy with the times, given the time I had out. This is a good way to start the season,” he told BBC Sport.
Wheelchair racer Weir found Marcel Hug too good in the T54 800m but recovered to take gold in the 1500m.
Pistorius came through to overtake American Jerome Singleton late on to win the 100m.
Thanks to BBC sport.
Congratulations to them both! More results to come as I get them. Watch this space!
