OLY-2008-ATHLETICS-110M HURDLES-LIU
China's Liu Xiang walks away from the track as he retires from the first round of the men's 110m hurdles at the "Bird's Nest" National Stadium during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games on August 18, 2008. Chinese superstar Liu Xiang sensationally pulled out of the 110m hurdles heats injured, putting a huge dampener on China's celebrations at achieving their most successful Olympics. Liu, the defending champion, is a national hero in China with his face on billboards everywhere, and his shock withdrawal with a foot injury after just a few strides in his hurdles heat stunned the nation. Sun Haiping, Liu's coach, explained a right heel injury, which has been a problem for years, flared up again. AFP PHOTO / FABRICE COFFRINI
