Question

What is your idea about Liu Xiang?

Answer 1

He was carrying an injury than caused acute pain before he could run in the 110m hurdles qualifiers, in the process ending 4 years training and preparation, dashing his Olympic dreams and that of China in that event

Can there be any other valid idea?

Answer 2

It is a heartbreaking end to 4 yrs of hard training, sacrifice, and dreams. It is a big blow to the Chinese track and field team considering their lack of depth in this area. I would have enjoyed watching him compete. I feel bad for him. I hope he is able to heal quickly and hopefully compete in London in the next go 'round.

Answer 3

i never heard of him until the news that he did not run. anyway, i was wondering how he could be so injured but made known only the day of competition. don't they have chinese national qualifying events? how did he even make the team? and his legs were insured for US $10M, the insurer must be the one running by now.
