Question

Are you disappointed that Liu Xiang is out? It would have been nice to see an asian win a sprint.?

Answer 1

Yes I am happy. But we knew he wasn't going to win anyway.  See those legs on all those s**y black men? YUM

Answer 2

I am very disappointed, I heard about this guy two weeks ago and I was looking forward to watching him defend his gold medal.

Answer 3

Disheartened. Now that 110m H is a dump and probably the Cuban is going to win.

Answer 4

I was very interested to see if he could win back-to-back.

Answer 5

I can't even type about this right now since I feel so bad, so I'm copy-pasting my answer from before if you don't mind.

The most devastating blow of the Olympic Games.

No question.

I'm Chinese-American, and so I'm biased towards China, but the Olympic Games are in Beijing, so when the crowd roars, it's because a Chinese has won gold. When China wins a gold medal, 1.3 billion people roar in approval of the win. When China misses out, 1.3 billion people groan in frustration.

And tonight's groan was an absolute groan of disbelief. Coming up to the Olympics, this was the event that was so hyped up by everyone, and for good reason, as Liu Xiang was the 2nd most favored to win the 110m hurdles. What happened tonight was unthinkable, for the biggest dream for the Beijing crowd to end before it even started. An indescribable sinking feeling throughout all of China.

To any ignorant fool who is laughing and calling China cheaters and telling them they deserve it, I hope you fall down a ditch and break your legs. Liu Xiang has a great personality, and has tried to keep as low of a profile as possible in addition to donating 2.5 million RMB to the victims of the Sichuan earthquake. He is enrolled in a university, showing by example that education comes first.

Don't be arrogant and make Americans look bad. You wouldn't be laughing if the Olympics had been held in the U.S. and Michael Phelps had gotten injured in the preliminaries of his first race. What happened tonight was not Liu Xiang's fault, and unfortunately for him and the rest of China, they will have to live with it for the rest of their lives. I hope he recovers and wins in London 2012.

Answer 6

It's always disappointing when some athletes can't compete due to injuries. At least Tyson g*y competed, even though he had an injury, and he refused to use it as a excuse. How admirable huh?

Answer 7

I almost dissolved into tears. I was almost sure that he wouldn't win, but I expected him to go out more spectacularly. The stunned atmosphere in the stadium was exactly how I felt.

Answer 8

of course I'm disappointed.  asian pride!  

Answer 9

Yes, very very disappointment, and so are the rest of the 1.3 billion chinese people, but I hope he gets well soon and get ready for London 2012.  

Answer 10

SIGH... I though he could make history by winning gold medal back to back..

Answer 11

Yes very disappointed.  There were rumors that he ran 12.80 in training.  I really wanted to see him take back the world record that was taken from him earlier this year.
