In front of 60,000 fans, the former Olympic and world champion, Liu Xiang got his third National Games gold medal in the final of the men’s 110 meters hurdles at the Olympic Sports Center in Ji Nan, Shandong province．

Before winning this game, Liu joined in the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix meet(上海国际田径黄金大奖赛) in September, 2009 and won the second place in men’s 110 meters hurdles with a very slight loss to his solid rival–American athlete, Terrence Trammell．That was the first time that he had shown up on the track and in public after his 13 month’s lay–off．So, this game on October 25, in 11th Chinese National Games was very critical for him to handle．After crossing the finishing line, Liu said, “The most important thing was to finish the race safely and smoothly．The result is not very good but the effort was not bad．”

With the final result of 13.34 seconds, Liu became the first Chinese hurdler to win a National Games title three times．“I’m feeling very good now,” Liu said．“I started to compete at the National Games at the age of 18 and now I’m 26．I hope I can run at the Games again in four years’ time because, for all Chinese athletes, is a dream and it is also my starting point．I would just like to thank all the people who have supported me and all the spectators who cheered for me here．”

It is hard for most of Liu’s fans to forget the heartbroken moment at Bird’s Nest last year at the Beijing Olympics because of the foot injury．Thirteen months later, however, the strong-minded man thrilled the home crowd with the strong comeback and would gain another take–off in his career．“I never thought of coming back when I got injured and I felt my future was in doubt,”Liu said, “But now I have seen there is still a future．”
