Pistorius again misses qualifying time

Double-amputee runner Oscar Pistorius again missed South Africa's qualifying time for the London Olympics, almost a second off the mark in winning a 400-meter race Saturdayin Brussels.

Pistorius won at the EAP meet in Nivelles in 46.20 seconds, far off the standard of 45.30 he needs to get automatic qualification for the games.

He has at least one more chance to qualify at the African Championships in Benin next week.

Rudisha wins 800

World 800-meter champion and record-holder David Rudisha clinched a spot on Kenya's Olympic team by winning the final at the national trials in Nairobi, Kenya.

Reigning 1,500 Olympic gold medalist Asbel Kiprop had to dig deep to make the London Games.

Rudisha, dominant all season, led from the start to finish in 1 minute, 42.12 seconds at Nyayo National Stadium and earn a trip to his first Olympics. Timothy Kitum and Anthony Chemut also secured spots.

The first three in each event qualified for next month's London Games.

Kiprop, who was awarded gold in Beijing after winner Rashid Ramzi was stripped of his title, finished third in the 1,500 to sneak onto the team behind Silas Kiplagat and Nixon Chepseba. -- AP
