virginangelicI'm in complete shock. I just watched Liu Xiang do a false start, rip his number and then leave, crestfallen. I thought it was like a 2nd false start but he's injured. The ol' hamstring problem.
Most of the audience left when the announcer said that Liu Xiang had withdrew from the race.
This is just so damn stunning - I wanted to watch him compete, to defend his title but I guess it's for the best. His health is far more important than winning some accolade. I just hope the netizens don't decide to throw BS around and say he couldn't handle the pressure, that he was faking it.
Which athelete would fake their injury, especially with the eyes of the world on you? >.<
Liu Xiang get well soon!
Oh and Happy Birthday GD.
