The Blade runner settles for fourth


Britain's Jonnie Peacock sprinted to glory in the Paralympics' showpiece final last night, stripping "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius of another title with a lightning-quick 100m.

The 19-year-old took gold in 10.90sec with Oscar  just out of the medals in fourth, clocking 11.17sec.

South Africa's Arnu Fourie took bronze in 11.08sec and US sprinter Richard Browne won silver in 11.03sec.

In the pool, Natalie Du Toit won her third gold of these games and her 13th paralympic gold in total in the SM9 200m individual medley.

The 28-year-old brings the curtain down on her paralympic career today in the S9 100m freestyle.

South Africa's Hilton Langenhoven recorded a personal best time of 49.04sec to win silver in the men's 400m T12 final last night.

Countrywoman Ilse Hayes produced a time of 12.41sec to win silver in the women's 100m T13 final

South Africa are now 20th on the medals table with 21 medals of which 5 are gold, seven silver and nine bronze.
