Liu Xiang's back!
China's champion hurdler, who withdrew from the Beijing Olympics with a foot injury thirteen months ago, finished second in a photo-finish at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. Both Liu and winner Terrence Trammell clocked times of 13.15 seconds.
Liu's performance exceeded expectations, and his return to racing was heralded by triumphal headlines in many of today's newspapers.
Still, Liu's trainers were impressed with his results, and expect a full return to health and glory in the near future. We're excited, Liu Xiang's sponsors are excited,so is Liu. Is it just us, or does his Christ-like pose seem like it's heralding the second coming?
