LIU XIANG'S SAD DEPARTURE





IF EVER CHINA HAD AN AFFABLE AND LIKABLE EVERYMAN ATHLETE, THEN LIU XIANG IS THE MAN. IT IS MOST UNFORTUNATE THAT LIU HAS HAD TO PULL OUT OF THE 110M HURDLES DUE TO INJURY.

ONE CAN ONLY SYMPATHIZE WITH LIU ON THE TREMENDOUS PRESSURE HE HAS BEEN UNDER WITH CHINA BEING THE HOST OF THE OLYMPICS GAMES 2008 AND THE GREAT BLOW IT HAS BEEN TO HIM AND THE CHINESE SPORTS FANS WHEN HE HAD TO PULL OUT OF THE RACE.

MAY HE RECOVER AND SHINE LIKE THE STAR HE IS MEANT TO BE FOR CHINA IN THE NEAR FUTURE AGAIN! SPEEDY RECOVERY LIU!!!
