Paralympic GB Cyclist Jody Cundy Disqualified.

There was drama in the Velodrome as GB cyclist Jody Cundy was disqualified from the C4-5 1km time trial.

His rear wheel slipped when leaving the starting gate and he was refused a second chance after officials ruled it was Cundy's fault.

Cundy was furious. He said: "I've wasted four years of my life to ride in front of 6,000 people."

The world champion later returned to apologise to the crowd for his angry reaction.

Fellow Brit Jon-Allan Butterworth went on to win silver in the event.

Cundy won two golds at the last Paralympics in Beijing. He used to be a swimmer but switched to cycling in 2006.

He was born with a deformed right foot which was amputated at the age of three.

 

Oscar Pistorius In Shock 200m Defeat To Alan Oliveira.

South African star Oscar Pistorius has lost his 200m title, in the biggest shock of the Paralympics so far.

The 'Blade Runner' was beaten by Brazil's Alan Oliveira, who stormed past the favourite in the last 20 metres of the race.

Afterwards, Pistorius questioned whether his rival's prosthetic legs were too long and gave him an unfair advantage.

"We are not running in a fair race here," Pistorius told Channel 4.

"I don't know how you can come back, watching the replay, from eight metres behind on the 100 to win. It's absolutely ridiculous."

He's now apologised for the timing of his remarks.

Paralympic bosses said that Oliveira's legs were within the rules.
