Arriving at the Athens 2004, Liu Xiang was a contender for a medal at the Olympic Games, although no one expected him to win the gold.

Yet when it came to the final, Liu's technique was near-perfect. He barely touched the sixth hurdle and cleared all the others cleanly, powering to a victory of almost three metres. And his time - 12.91 seconds - equalled the 11-year-old world record.

That performance made Liu the first Chinese man to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics.

    Not the first one. And i don't understand what's so funny even if everyone was knocked down. They're going at tremendous speeds.

    i think he is referring to Xiang's Asian eyes, since people always say they look small and people think that they can't see very well because of that.
