(CBS/AP) There will be no medal for Oscar Pistorius at the London Olympics after the double amputee and his South African teammates finished last in the 4x400-meter relay Friday night.

Pistorius took to Twitter after the race:

I can't describe the feelings I've had this past week.. Thank you all for playing a part in one of the greatest weeks of my life!

The South Africans were out of the medals by the time Pistorius took the handoff for the anchor leg, with the Bahamians and Americans already around the second curve. His only hope was catching Venezuela, and he wasn't able to do it.

The South Africans finished in 3:03.46, almost seven seconds behind Bahama.

London Olympics: Aug. 11, 2012

Still, Pistorius made a mark on history this year, becoming the first double amputee to compete in track and field at the Olympics.

"It makes me proud to run with these guys," Pistorius said after the race, according to USA Today. "We know each other very well. It makes me proud that every guy gave his best tonight. It's a bit sad that we couldn't have run a bit better. We came in second place last year at world champs. But it just makes me super proud to have that opportunity to represent our country."

I've readed Oscar's statement and several things which had to be come to light. One of them is from the statement he woke up early morning and he didn't see whether she was in bed or not due to the pitch dark. It is understandable. Then he saw the mobility in the bed and he grabbed his gun which underneath the bed. Again he didn't see she was in bed? That's absurd because he had to be aware in terms of danger whether she was safe or not so he had to check out her. That's not understandable. Then shooting was over he reached the bed again and finally he realised that she was not in the bed. That's illogical statement, in terms of dangerous situation, you had to protect beloved one, so Oscar if he has really falling love with her, as a logical person, he had to check her firstly.
I think these 3 things need to be check out for the investigators. First of all, pitch darking situation needs to be come to light, how dark was the bedroom in the exact time during the events was occuring. Investigators need to check out the bedroom's condition in according the Oscar's statement and why Oscar didn't realise the second time when he entered the bedroom whether she was in there or not.
