Liu Xiang got encouraged by Chinese President Hu Jintao Twice!

Chinese athlete Liu Xiang told reporters that he was encouraged by Chinese President Hu Jintao Twice!Liu Xiang was once the most famous and admired athlete in China.But his quit in Beijing Olympics drove Liu Xiang to the bottom of his career.Some people who wanted to got something from the incident abused Liu Xiang and that has got Liu Xiang depressed.But fortunately Liu didn't gave up.He took second place in 2009 Shanghai Golden Grand Prix.

Returning to the field after a 13-month absence, 110m hurdler and former World record holder Liu Xiang placed second tonight in a photo finish. The 2004 Athens Olympic gold medallist and 2007 World champion got back in the game with this comeback, his first race since he was forced to pull out of his first round heat at Beijing Olympics due to an Achilles tendon injury.
A tsunami of cheers and applause swept the stadium as the Shanghai native crossed the finish line abreast of American Terrence Trammell in 13.15. Trammell, having become familiar with second places at the 2007 and 2009 World championships, as well as in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics was awarded first this time. Chinese hurdler Shi Dongpeng, a semi-finalist in Beijing, came in third with a 13.34. Liu Xiang's old adversary American 1996 Olympic and four-time World champion Allen Johnson, whom Liu Xiang beat for gold at the Shanghai meetings in 2005 and 2006, placed fourth with a 13.47.

Though Liu Xiang carries the dreams of an entire nation, pressure did not get to him tonight, in fact all three Chinese runners fared well, delivering season bests, with eighteen-year-old Xie Wenjun placing seventh with 13.53.

Now Liu is preparing for the 11th National Games in China.I think he could achieve a good result in the game!I really wish that Liu could continue his success in his career since now Liu Xiang is still young! He could get much more in the future! Let's bless him!
