CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — Major moments in the life of Oscar Pistorius, the South African double-amputee Olympic runner who was released from prison on parole Friday having served nearly nine years of a murder sentence for the 2013 killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Pistorius, 37, will have to live under strict conditions until his full sentence of 13 years and five months expires on Dec. 5, 2029.
Nov. 22, 1986 — Pistorius is born with a congenital condition where he has no fibula bones. His legs are amputated below the knee before he is a year old.
May 16, 2008 — Already a multiple Paralympic champion, Pistorius wins a ruling at sport's highest court that overturns a previous ban and allows him to compete against able-bodied athletes at the world's biggest track events on his specially designed carbon-fiber running blades.
