Pistorious didn't do the qualifying time for the Olympics. The 100m final was 
yesterday, he just won after defending champion, Marlon Shirley (USA), fell 
in last 10metres.

I've been watching a lot (BBC do a 1hr roundup at 7pm each day + 6hrs of live 
coverage each day). I enjoyed GB men beating US at basketball (the women got 
trounced though!!).
