Liu Xiang, born in 1983, won the men's10 meter hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. He ended the history that European and American athletes, especially black athletes, dominated the short-span events for many years, thus giving more athletes the "ambition" to go global.

Many people remember that at the Athens Olympic Games, Johnson of the United States failed to reach the final because he fell in the preliminary round. Whether you admit it or not, it's a relief for many Liu Xiang fans. A foreign reporter expressed this feeling bluntly. When interviewing Liu Xiang, who is about to enter the finals, he asked: "John is out, does it mean that your chances of winning the championship have increased?"

Liu Xiang recognized the reporter's "implication", and he felt his blood welled up in his face. He immediately replied without weakness: "Asia has me, and China has me!"

Yes, when Liu Xiang didn't know what hurdles were, John King had already made a name for himself. Liu Xiang admitted that he had "looked up" to John King, but after taking a photo and asking for his autograph, Liu Xiang became his strong opponent without hesitation, challenging him again and again and surpassing Johnson twice before the Olympic Games.

After winning the Olympic champion of Liu Xiang 1 10 in the United States, he said today that "his (Liu Xiang's) technical level amazed all American hurdlers". With his precise hurdling skills, he became the real hurdling king.

"Asia has me, China has me!" -This grandiloquence forced out in desperation became a gold medal trademark that Liu Xiang didn't need to register after the game.
