Liu Xiang was the first Asian to win the men’s 110m hurdles（跳欄）at the Olympic Games in Athens. After that he became an idol（偶像）to the young people. When Liu Xiang crossed the finish line far ahead of the other players, in a world record-equaling time of 12.91 seconds, many fans burst into tears. It was Liu’s first Olympics and he won the gold medal.“I never thought I could run under 13 seconds, and I never thought I would break the Olympic record,”said Liu in tears,“I am very, very excited. This is a wonder. I’m proud not just for myself and for Chinese but for Asia. My race went wonderfully from start to finish,”Liu added.“It is an amazing experience being the Olympic champion. I want to thank my coach and my friends for all their help. I think today we Chinese have showed the world we can run as fast as anybody else.”

　　When Liu was a grade four student in a primary school, he was chosen by the Junior Sports School of Putuo District in Shanghai to practice jumping. But when a bone test showed he would not become a tall man, Liu was asked to give up practicing after one year although he had won the national championship for his age group. Liu’s parents also wanted him to give it up and study more at school, but Liu decided to continue practicing jumping. In 1998 when Liu Xiang, aged 15, met the famous coach Sun Haiping, his career changed greatly. Sun believed Liu was a rising star and after visiting Liu’s parents several times, finally he persuaded them to let Liu practice the ll0m hurdles. Since his return from Athens, Liu has been at the center of a media circus（媒體焦點(diǎn)）. He became well known around the world. But Liu thinks 2004 is just the beginning, he will be better in 2008, he said,“For some players, it’s just a job. For me, it’s what I love.”
