Leading up to SportsCentres Year In Review on Christmas Eve, TSN and TSN.
Kyle
Seager Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013. Today,
we look back at one of the most shocking sports stories in recent years -
Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorious being charged with murder. Oscar Pistorius was
one of the feel-good figures of 2012. The Blade Runner became the first amputee
runner to compete at an Olympic Games and carried the South African flag at the
closing ceremony in London. His competitors sought his bib after they finished
racing him and Pistorius embodied the type of anythings possible spirit that the
Olympics cling to as a good will event. That all changed on Valentines Day of
2013, when word came out of South Africa that Pistorius had been charged with
the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. The shocking details of the
incident would come to light in early reports as well as a bail hearing that
started five days later. Pistoriuss defence argued that the then-26-year-old got
up in the middle of the night to confront what he believed to be an intruder in
his Pretoria home. The sprinter got up and fired four shots through his locked
bathroom door, hitting Steenkamp three times and killing her. After a change in
investigators (due to pending attempted murder charges against officer Hilton
Botha himself), the prosecution appealed for bail, painting Pistorius as a man
of means who could flee South Africa. The verdict came down on February 22:
Pistorius was granted bail with Magistrate Desmond Nair stating, "The issue
before me is whether this accused, being who is and the assets he has (here),
would seek to duck and dive all over the world." "I cannot find that he is a
flight risk," he would conclude, leaving Pistorius free from jail time in the
months leading up to his March 2014 trial. Pistorius would return to the track
in June, resuming training in what his agent Peet van Zyl described as a "very
emotional" and "bittersweet" experience.

They put points on the board, now the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have to put fans
back in the seats as they opened the CFL season with a convincing 45-21 win over
the Toronto Argonauts Thursday night. It was a welcome change from the past
couple of seasons as they dominated the Argos on both sides of the ball,
although coach Mike OShea said they made enough mistakes to show more work needs
to be done. Drew Willys debut as Winnipegs starting quarterback was nothing
short of stunning for fans who have known little but disappointment the last two
seasons. He threw four touchdown passes. "He just ran a good game. The No. 1
thing quarterbacks have to do, what theyre in charge of, is winning," said
OShea. "He went out there and he helped win the game for us." OShea said it
probably surprised some people. Willy had started only four games and won just
one as a backup in Saskatchewan for the last two seasons. But the players,
including Willy, said they werent surprised. The team has changed a lot from the
one that went 3-15 last season. "I kind of thought I could do it but Im a
confident guy," said Willy. "I knew if I went through my reads and did
everything possible things would go right . . . We got off to a good start. It
was nice on the first drive to score." Even Argos head coach Scott Milanovich
praised Willys efforts on the field. "They protected the passer well and Drew
made the throws that were there," Milanovich said. "Give him a lot of credit,
that was an excellent first start for him." Aaron Kelly at wide receiver caught
two of those touchdown passes as he opened his first full season with the
Bombers with a 100-yard game. "Im going to change his name, Big Play Kelly,"
said OShea, who saw in a game what Kelly showed in camp. He joined the Bombers
midway through last season. "I feel Ive got a good opportunity here," said
Kelly, who entered his fourth season in the CFL and won an opener for the first
time. He spent 2011 and 2012 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. "I worked hard to win
the starting spot here and just wanted to come out and start fast and help the
team win." Penalties crippled the Argos, who had 22 to just seven for the
Bombers, and 16 in the first half alone. OShea said they were a huge part of the
game and noted one of Winnipegs, for too many men, led to one of Torontos
touchdowns. Milanovich said his team needs to learn from the misttakes it made
on the field Thursday.

games: protecting the football, penalties, and protecting the quarterback, and
we lost every phase of that ..." Milanovich said. "We simply cant win with that
many penalty flags." After a couple of poor seasons, Winnipeg has some work to
do to bring back the crowds at Investors Group Field. There were almost 9,000
empty seats Thursday night and at 24,872, only barely beat the 24,000 who
attended the Bombers pre-season tilt against the Argos three weeks ago. Bombers
president Wade Miller could be seen walking through the stands personally
greeting fans Thursday night. "As much as the players that have been here the
last few years need this win, so did the fans and our players appreciate that,"
said OShea. "This community needs this. The players needs to understand that its
bigger than them too." Cory Watson caught another touchdown pass, backup
quarterback Robert Marve ran for a fourth, and defensive back Demond Washington
carried a fumble in for a fifth. Canadian receiver Julian Feoli-Gudino, a former
Argo, made it six with a seven-yard catch in the fourth quarter. CFL rookie
running back Nic Grigsby ran for 122 yards on 21 carries for the Bombers. A
77-yard return by Brendan Smith set up Torontos only touchdown in the first half
when Ricky Ray hit Jason Barnes for nine yards. They got another on a five-yard
pass to Jeremiah Johnson in the second and picked up a single on a kick. Chad
Owens carried a kick back 83 yards late in the second half for another Toronto
touchdown to make it 45-21. Marves touchdown was set up by a successful pass
interference challenge from coach Mike OShea, payback for a similar challenge
from Toronto coach Scott Milanovich in their exhibition game June 6, the first
time the new league rule saw action. Torontos defence couldnt put any serious
pressure on Willy for much of the game and their offence was hammered by the
Bombers, with sacks, forced fumbles, and intercepted or blocked passes. Ray and
Willy both threw 12 for 18 in the first half but Willy turned that into 246
yards and three touchdowns. Ray had to settle for 141 and one. Willy finished
the game going 19 for 27 for 305 yards to Rays 27 for 38 and 283. Trevor Harris
came in for Ray late in the second half and Brian Brohm replaced Willy, although
Willy returned for a few plays after Owens touchdown.
