Oscar Pistorius wants to train again and recently went back to visit his regular track in South Africa's capital, according to the double-amputee athlete's agent.
There was still no decision on an exact timeframe for the multiple Paralympic champion's return to regular running, but Pistorius told his agent Peet van Zyl and longtime coach Ampie Louw at a meeting on Tuesday that he was "definitely keen to get back on track to resume training," the agent said.
"When, exactly, is his choice," Van Zyl said. Pistorius, who is facing a murder trial at the end of the year following the shooting of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, had also revisited his practice track in Pretoria on 24 March, although he did not train.
Pistorius last trained on a track over two months ago, and his last competitive race was his victory in the 400m final at the London Paralympics in September last year.---------------- The Guardian
