While praising Sue, everyone remembered Liu Xiang, the flying man who once made Chinese people proud.
In the past, others simply looked down on our track and field athletes. This is how Liu Xiang felt after his first overseas competition. The American player in the same group fell and fouled at the beginning of the game, but the third player, Liu Xiang, was finally convicted of a foul. In those people's minds, it is impossible for China people to outrun the Americans, and it must be China people who violate the rules. Fortunately, the video recording of the coach is the only way to achieve justice. Since then, Liu Xiangbian has made up his mind to prove himself that China people can also run well in track and field.
In July, 2002, Liu Xiang represented her country in the international competition, and the result was 13 seconds, 12, which set a new Asian record. In August, 2003, Liu Xiang won the bronze medal in the Teacher and Sister Championship for the first time. Suddenly, Liu Xiang, originally unknown, began to attract the attention of the world. In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang was highly anticipated. In the preliminaries, Liu Xiang won the championship easily, but in the second round, something went wrong, and Liu Xiang actually beat him. Fortunately, he adjusted quickly and successfully advanced. In the final, trammell deliberately disturbed the opponent's four hands in this way when everyone was highly focused, which directly angered Liu Xiang. In a short distance of 1 10 meter, we saw a man in a red sportswear, rushing to the finish line with riding momentum. On this day, Liu Xiang's name resounded all over the world, and the yellow race stood on the highest podium in the track and field competition for the first time. Since then, the world has officially opened the Liu Xiang era. In 2005, he won the 12 championship in one breath, and in 2006, the IAAF competition broke the Olympic record, raising12second 9 1 to12second 88 to become the first in the world.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, everyone was waiting at home for Liu Xiang to win the championship, but everyone didn't know that Liu Xiang had been seriously injured at this time. There are three calcifications in the heel, and the old injury of the right heel tendon recurs. Before playing ball, he kicked the wallboard hard with his foot, hoping to stop the pain. But after the fight, you can't step on the ground without running two steps. When the announcement of Liu Xiang's retirement was made on the radio, the whole game scene was full of exclamations, which was unacceptable to all the expectant audience. Liars, cowards, pretending to be sick before running into the top three and so on abound. Liu Xiang recovered quickly after the operation and broke his peak record with serious injuries. 12 London Olympic Games made everyone place their hopes on Liu Xiang again, but God didn't give Liu Xiang a chance to atone. After the shot put and the start, Liu Xiang just stepped on the first hurdle and fell flat. Liu Xiang, sitting in the athletes' aisle, knew that this was his last game. He hopped back to the arena, kissed the hurdles and bid farewell to his battlefield.
Liu Xiang has participated in 48 world championships, won 36 championships and 6 runner-ups. But many people only remember that he retired twice. When he retired, there were more people who questioned and abused him than those who cared about him. In the past, we used gold medals to prove our strength, but now we seem to understand better that the Olympic spirit doesn't have to win gold medals, but do our best.
