South African Oscar Pistorius will get another chance to race at the London 2012 Olympic Games. . His 4x400m relay team has been advanced to the final, after an appeal was accepted by the IAAF, arguing that Kenyan runner Vincent Mumo Kiilu cut across Ofentse Mogawane, causing him to fall and end South Africas race. In a release following the race, they announced the Kenyan team was disqualified. Kenya finished seventh in their heat, and would not have advanced to the final anyway. "He spiked me. I was in front and he spiked me from behind. When you are in front you cant see behind. I was coming across, but he was aware," Kiilu said after the race. "It was like someone hitting me from behind." The Kenyan team came to see the video of the race and agreed their athlete was at fault. Pistorius announced the following from his Twitter account Thursday: "ITS ON!! We in the FINAL. Team management Protested as Ofentse was taken out and we have been given Lane 9!! [LJ van Zyl] to take his place!!!" South Africa will run in lane 9 in Fridays final. "Will be up on the 3rd leg tomorrow for the Final! Really cant wait!" Pistorius added via Twitter. In the opening heat of qualifying for the mens 4x400m relay, Magawane, the second runner for South Africa, got tangled with Kiilu and crashed to the ground. He suffered a shoulder injury and stayed down until the race was over. He later confirmed that he had a separated shoulder. "It was just an accident. Everyone wants to make a move, we were all bunched up. I wanted to get on the other side. We were too close and bumping into each other," Mogawane said."I was falling and tumbling and I dislocated my shoulder. I am going to the doctor now to do some scans. It is very painful. "I cannot really remember what happened. My heart is broken into a thousand pieces." Pistorius, who was to run the third leg of that race, stood in disbelief. The double amputee, who made history as the first man to ever compete in an able-bodied Games, missed a chance to run in his second and final event at London 2012. South Africa set a national record en route to winning a silver medal at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea. They were one of the nations considered to be a medal contender.
