12 жыл бұрынSo sad to see Chinese hurdling legend Liu Xiang Crashing Out of the London 2012 Olympics! A suspected achilies injury put pay to his hopes of winning a second Olympic gold medal.
This is the heats of the 110m hurdles at the Olympic Games 2012 from London Olympic stadium. My video includes Unseen Footage of Liu Xiang re-emerging from the tunnel injured hopping down the 100 metre finishing straight and kissing the last hurdle! (possibly for the last time?)
Filmed by me live including unseen tv footage on 07/08/12.

He is regarded as a master technician. Allen Johnson (GOAT) and Andy Turner both recognized Liu Xiang as one of the fastest, cleanest, sprinter over the 42" barriers. Choking? Liu Xiang NEVER hits hurdles. It was because of his achilles injury.

Well, that's a load of bull poop isn't it? If he was so badly injured, how come he was the fastest starter? He wasn't injured mate. He just made a mistake when he mistimed his first jump. Case closed.

DiZZy ViZiON I get your analysis. However, he has a left lead leg, meaning he takes off from his right foot. Yes, he had a good start, but that’s independent from his takeoff into the first hurdle, which is where I believe the injury happened. Again, he is a master technician, so I wouldn’t think he’d simply misjudge his steps on such a big stage, especially not in the PRELIMINARY round. As you can see, he didn’t seem to get enough height either. You be the judge..

@@ePlayablez He wasnt injured. His own teammate said he was running 13.00 in practice right before this. He made a bad jump. Simple as that. I think people always wanna give other people excuses. If he was injured that badly, he would not have raced.

Thank you so much for recording and posting this beautiful and tragic moment. Very nice camera quality and camera work, by the way. I am so glad that he decided to hobble back out and run the entire stretch as a farewell to the Olympic Games. An incredibly promising athlete that was hampered from the dreaded injuries to the Achilles tendon. I have no idea why this doesn't have more views.

Hurdling is not easy at all, and this is coming from a former hurdler. It's a lot of practice, your form over the hurdles has to be right, you have to have SPEED between the hurdles, your steps to the first hurdle has to be right, etc. All hurdlers fall at one point or another. I would say it takes at least 2 years to get good at it.

Based on China's overall achievement in the Olympic games thus far, I do not feel as though these British fans are in any position to talk down on Chinese athletes. I felt it was necessary to give them a taste of their own ignorance.
