Double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius is set to make his Olympic debut after being selected for South Africa's 1,600-meter relay team. He will be the first double-amputee athlete to compete at the Olympics, and is now focused on reaching the 400 semifinals — as he did at the worlds in South Korea last year.
