Well, he is back! Liu Xiang ran 13.09 at the recent Asian Games. The tickets for his days of hurdling were the fastest to sell out and highest priced on the after market per our contacts at the Asian Games.
If you think Tyson Gay versus Asafa Powell and Usain Bolt will be nuts in Daegu, do not underestimate this line up: Dayron Robles, David Oliver and Liu Xiang. RBR loves the 110m hurdles, and feels that the high hurdles are one of the most under appreciated events in our sport. Like the shot guys, the 110m hurdles guys duke it out, event after event. I for one, can not wait. But, until then, enjoy the photo essay we have done here, courtesy of PhotoRun.net, all on Liu Xiang!
