Oscar Pistorius has set his sights on medals for South Africa in both next year’s Olympics and Paralympics in London.

The 24-year-old athlete, who won an able-bodied World Championship silver medal in Daegu, is hopeful that he can compete in both competitions.

"I want to compete in both [the Olympics and Paralympics],” Pistorius told the BBC.

"I will be running the 100m, 200m and 400m in the Paralympics. I've got to run one more qualification time for the Olympics between January and June next year.”

The South African expressed his disappointment in being dropped from the 4x400m relay team in South Korea.

"I don't know what happened there with the management deciding they didn't want to run me in the final,” he added.

"I was a bit disappointed. I ran a national record in the semi-final and it was quicker than the South African team ended up running in the final.”

Pistorius, who had both legs amputated before he was one year old, was cleared to compete alongside able-bodied athletes in 2008.
