Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius
Olympian and Paralympian, Oscar Pistorius, has been cleared to
leave South Africa, in the middle of his murder trial, regarding the
tragic shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius formally
stated the shooting was an accident, while prosecutors maintain it was premeditated
murder. The court stated, " I find no reason why the applicant
should be forbidden from leaving the Republic of South Africa if he's
invited to compete in athletic events in other countries."
Oscar Pistorius
Pistorius is set to compete in the World Athletic Championships this
summer, but the question is, will he be ready, both physically and
mentally. Pistorius lost key training time due to his crucial murder
case and he is also in a fragile mental state. Running well takes
physical and mental strength. A distracted and troubled mind can prove
a hindrance. Additionally, how will audiences react, as the public is
divided on the case.
