Murder-accused Olympian Oscar Pistorius trained at the University of Pretoria on Thursday, June 27 for the first time since he had shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine's Day.
"It was a very emotional experience for him to put the blades back on, to walk back onto the track, get the smell of the track," Van Zyl, who went to the track at the University of Pretoria with Pistorius, told The AP on Friday. "It was tough for him. He said to me it was like a bittersweet feeling and emotion for him to be back on the track."
