For the first time in weeks, I was having a down day and I'd just gone out for a run,

and then suddenly, you know, it was interrupted with a phone call saying Oscar Pistorius has killed his girlfriend.

There was just so much confusion at that time as to what had happened.

that Oscar Pistorius was guilty of murder.

... Tracking Field Star Oscar Pistorius inspired the world as the first double-leg amputee to compete at the Olympic Games.

Then he shocked the world with tragedy when his girlfriend was shot dead and he

was convicted. A new series from ESPN Films tells the story of the South African athlete. And today,

we hear what it was like to cover the man they called Blade Runner in his rise and fall.
