Xiang

The back-story goes like this. Rumors are flying that Nike asked Liu Xiang, who is a 110-meter hurdler to withdraw from one of the heats during the Olympics because he was going to get smoked and Nike didn't want their name anywhere near this drubbing.

China and Asia’s most famous athlete was afflicted by injury to his Achilles tendon for the 2008 Olympics.After years of training and commitment one can only try to imagine the pain and devastation the great Liu Xiang is suffering. We can but hope his determination will allow him to rise above this challenge and we will see him at the next Olympics. We wish you well Liu Xiang! The false sta

I am a former hurdler... I ran in high school and college and competed at the USATF Junior Nationals. I know how tough it is to stay on top and how injuries can derail a season. One thing I will... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

My heart broke on behalf of Liu Xiang, the Chinese 110m hurdler first thrust into the spotlight after winning gold in Athens, as he limped out of the Bird's Nest a few days ago. His right foot which has bothered him for quite some time didn't allow him to even finish more than two hurdles during a practice run. But I wasn't the only one sad...His coach sobbed; Chinese media shed tears; Spectators

Face of Beijing games out with apparent Achilles injuryPerhaps the first big shock at this year's Olympic Games comes not from a major contender testing positive for a banned substance, but instead in the form of Liu Xiang pulling out of competition even before his qualifying heat in the 110 m hurdles.At the end of 2007 we did a fun post in the year that was in running. In it we dished out some "

I LOVE MIKE HE! He's such a good actor and very handsome, hahaa. But he's always acting the same character: an arrogant guy that turns out to be very sweet. I would like to know how he would play another sort of character.. Anyway I love his smile, it makes you want to smile too. Hehhee. I already have seen all the episodes of Love Contract, Devil Beside You, Why Why Love and Bull Fighting. I most

We all remember Cathy Freeman winning the 400 meters in front of her home country at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Prior to the start of the 400 meter rounds, she took part and lit the Olympic flame at the Opening ceremonies. I have to admit, this was the most stunning flame lighting spectacle to date, next to the paraolympian Archer who lit the flame in Barcelona 1992. There was the much ballyhooed hype with Konstantinos Kenteris who won the 200 meters at the same Olympics when Michael Johnson and Maurice Green both failed to make the finals at their respective USATF Trials. His chance to repeat as the 200 meter winner in front of his hometown Greece in 2004 never materialized for reasons still under investigation, and I was 100% certain he would be the one to light the flame. POP QUIZ: Who lit the torch at these games? In 2001, Kenteris proved he was no fluke by winning the 200 meters at the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton. Recent news from www.chinadaily.com.cn claims the

To quote CDYS Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan from the Straits Times article: “I would rather have high political hurdles, so that anybody who seriously enters the contest is a good, strong, honest person, willing to pay the price and able to withstand the scrutiny of the public.” Oh my, I am so attracted to the term “high political hurdles”. It really reminds me of Liu Xiang, the Chinese world and Olympic record holder in 110m hurdles. The PAP has set many “hurdles” for the oppositions to jump over over the years, all the way to Parliament. The GRC system is one. Although I do agree it is difficult to elect minority MPs into the Parliament because I think the majority Chinese will naturally vote for a fellow Chinese even if both the candidates are of same calibre, it is ridiculous to increase the size of a GRC from a 3-member in 1984 to the current 5 or 6-member GRC. I do not understand the rationale behind the setting of this “high political hurdle” when the propo

The first one touched the tusk, and said:” An elephant is just like a turnip.”The second one touched the ear, and said:” An elephant is like a big fan.”The third one touched the leg, and said:” An elephant is just like a column.”The fourth one touched the body, and said:” An elephant is just like a wall.
