Let's hug Liu xiang


I have been watching Beijing Olympic game since 08-08-2008. I really enjoy it as I can see so many outstanding performances daily. I also read newspaper to keep track all Olympic events every day. That's why I have less time to visit your, sorry for that.
Life is unpredictable even for athletes. Do you know how much efforts they have put in behind scene? They went through a lot of tough training from young. With the strong will power, they had cleared so many obstacles. It is really a nice thing to compete with others in Beijing Olympic to achieve their goal, the best one will get the gold, silver or bronze medal.
The journey is not easy for athletes, some of them were injured during the training session or in the race, Liu xiang is one of the examples.
I felt sad for Liu xiang's withdrawal from the heats for the 100m hurdles[ Beijing Olympic ] due to unbearable pain on his legs. After the incident, I saw two types of comments from fans, some encouraged him to try again next time, some laughed at him by voicing out their anger.
Liu xiang made comments during his interview on Television. He said: " I knew I couldn't make it when I was warming up and I couldn't even jog, I feel very sorry. But there's really nothing I could do. If I had finished the race, I would have risked my tendon. I could not describe my feeling at that moment. I never quit easily. I am not that type of person. " He also wrote something on his blog site. Liu wrote: " Please believe me that the hurt and sadness in my heart cannot be less than yours. At the same time, please believe I am the same Liu xiang as before."
Liu xiang will run again after the recovery, let's hug him .We should hug him even he fell. I salute him for his fighting spirit and he had made the history in year2004- the first Asian who got the gold medal in track and field in Olympic game.
