@Kstang09 well.. can never know cause the audio in the video might have a slight lag, plus this video recording the TV playing the same video, so the audio might have added lag due to acoustics in the room.. we'll never know, but can only trust the electronic timers where working at the time.
I was watching in 2008 when he had to pull out of that race in front of his entire country and I felt for him. I'm so happy for him now. It's always great to see people come back after dissapointment. It takes a man to come back.
Watching from it, I dont think its a false start, he just started running before anyone else, he seems more aware of the signal. With a false start, many would have used it to disqualify him, but None did.
When Liu Xiang first showed up in Athens and won, I didn't think much of it. I was proud that he won China's first gold in athletics for men, but that didn't really affect me. Even when he dropped out of Beijing in 2008, I didn't dwell on that. However, the thing that really gets to me is that people were angry at him for dropping out, but he persevered and came back stronger than ever. We know he's not the same LX from 6 years ago, but he's always gonna be my hero b/c he didnt give up. 刘翔加油!
Thks for watching! yes, I share your sentiments, & to be able to deliver under the heavy weight of his nation's expectations..it is sth very special! I am v inspired by him!!
Thks for watching, Ann!! He is my inspiration..not so much because he excel in what he does, but because he could come back from the depths of despair...to lift himself & his whole country's spirits..amazing guy..
@kidowmer It is a very heartfelt story. Truly amazing!! I can't find my first comment. I hope I didn't mess up. Well done!!! He is a true hero! Love and hugs, Patty

if he'd opened his mouth wider, perhaps he'd run even faster. More oxygen = more energy.
