In high school, he played water polo and rugby until a knee injury in 2003 led him to start training in track to aid his recovery. With the help of his first set of carbon-fiber prosthetics, he achieved remarkable success, winning the 200-meter race at the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens and earning a bronze in the 100 meters.

Tragically, on 14 February 2013, Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in Pretoria. He claimed to have mistaken her for an intruder and said the shooting was unintentional.

In 2016, Pistorius was sentenced to six years in prison, but in 2017, South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal increased the sentence to 13 years and five months. After serving approximately nine years, Pistorius was granted parole and released in January 2024.
