Liu Xiang is a hero to us forever!!!


Yesterday, millions of Chinese were watching 110m hurdles for Liu Xiang. Even though we were in Canada, we were still very care about it. I imaged that Liu xiang will win it or He will lose it, but I never think he will give up because of his injured leg. However, he is still a Hero to us.
When he won the first price in 2004 Olympic Games, he said that “It changes the opinion that Asian countries don’t get good results in sprint races. I want to prove to all the world that Asians can run very fast. I am a Chinese and considering the physiology of the Chinese people, it is something unbelievable.” That's true.
He is not only a athletic, but also a symple of China. He already tried his best to do it, so he is a hero. If he had take the 110m hurdles, he must be the winner. He had already get a lot of good results before. Liu followed up his victory in Greece with a silver medal at the 2005 world championships and then began to dominate the event as he got older and more experienced, setting his world record the following year.
We don't care who will win, but we care about whether you tried your best. Everyone will meet some unexpected things druing their lifes. when it is happened, the only way is to face it. I hope that Liu Xiang will stand up again. I hope his injured leg will become better and better.
I hope that everything will goes well in Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.

It's too bad about Liu Xiang. But we watched Guo Jingjing dive, and we all thought she was terrific and a good representative of the country.

The Olympics is such a risky business for journalists. It's hard to predict who will win the medals, since the difference between gold and nothing is sometimes so small. But they take the chance because if they are right, then they are the first with the big story.
