Liu Xiang was the champion !

At the World Athletics Championships in Daegu, South Korea China's Liu Xiang has gotten off to a very solid beginning. Liu, breezing through the opening round of the 110m hurdles earlier this morning, easily moving on to the semi-final round.

Liu, running in lane five...lining up alongside the defending World champion Ryan Brathwaite of Barbados. Liu, wearing his familiar Chinese red...got off to a great start in the heat.

Liu, making the switch earlier this year from eight steps before the first hurdle to seven...and he looked very comfortable, cruising to the finish line in a time of 13.20 seconds to win the heat, the second best time of the morning heats.

European champ Evan Turner finished in second, while Braithwaite...who has been struggling with injuries, finished fifth and was eliminated.

Also moving on in the morning heats were World Record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba and America's Darren Oliver, so a potential showdown between Liu, Robles and Oliver still very much a possibility.
And finally Liu had gotten the justice for it that Dayon Robles DQ ！！！

@MinuteOrMinute Agree. Robles need more lessons on athletic ethnics. Winning by bring other people down is a shame.

@jimmyg141 Watch the replay again. It was not an accident. Roberts intentionlly grabbed Liu Xiang's hand. It's a serious foul and it's agains the competition rule. And you can also see from the face of Roberts, he did notice his foul and feel regret about it. But he just want to win even by grabbing opponent's arm several times. What a hell.

That was definitely a foul but not the first time that occurred in Track and Field. However the fact that Liu Xiang is Chinese and Robles a black latino is not important! I do understand some Chinese sports fan being upset however because that was a hell of a closing kick Xiang put on to come from first to third in a race normal dominated by blacks! In closing it appeared Robles foul was unintentional but it did occur!

Did anyone else notice that he knocked over Liu's hurdle as well? He knocked it over just in time for Liu to hit the thing and slow down.

WTF,  3 times? ! the grab was more intentional than an accident.
