Woh! South Africa's Oscar Pistorius has picked up his third gold medal at the Beijing 2000 Paralympic Games. This medal in the 400m event completes a treble for him after having won the 100m and 200m earlier. In the 400m, he finished in a time of 47.49 seconds, a world record for his disability class. That's true grit!
