Liu of China Crashes Out of 110-Meter Men’s Hurdles

LONDON — The champion hurdler Liu Xiang, the most prominent athlete from
China competing in the London Games, suffered another painful Olympic exit
on Tuesday morning.
Four years after Liu had to withdraw from the men’s 110-meter hurdles in
the Beijing Olympics, devastating his millions of adoring fans in China, he
left the competition here without clearing a single hurdle in a preliminary
heat. Just as in 2008, an Achilles tendon injury was his undoing.
Liu, a former world-record holder in the event and the gold medal winner at
the 2004 Athens Games, drove his left foot into the first hurdle and tumbled
to the track, grasping his lower right leg.
He lay on the track, then rose and hopped toward the exit before returning
to hop quickly up the track next to the hurdles on his left leg,
symbolically finishing the race. When he neared the finish, he crossed back
onto the track and kissed the final hurdle in his lane.
A leader of China’s track and field team, Feng Shuyong, said tests at a
hospital were needed to confirm the initial diagnosis that Liu had torn his
right Achilles tendon.
“For that to happen to one of the greatest hurdlers of all time is a
tragedy,” said Aries Merritt of the United States, who qualified for the
semifinals in the heat before Liu’s.
Two other runners in Liu’s heat, Andrew Turner of Britain and Jackson Qui&
ntilde;ónez of Spain, waited for him to hobble up the track. Then they put
their arms around his shoulders and helped him to a wheelchair.
“It was horrible to see him limp off like that, so I had to go and help him
,” said Turner, who won Liu’s heat.
After victories at the 2004 Olympics and the world championships in 2007,
Liu was the face of the 2008 Olympics in China. But his leg failed him then,
too, with an Achilles tendon injury that ended his first race after three
steps and put a sad twist on the host country’s efforts. He publicly
apologized for his stunning withdrawal then, and his coach was brought to
tears in a news conference after his race.
Liu, 29, was expected to contend for gold here with Merritt and the world-
record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba, who also advanced out of his
preliminary heat on Tuesday.
Liu holds the second fastest 110-meter time ever (12.88) and the second best
time in the world this year (12.97, behind the 12.93 run by Merritt). Liu
ran the 12.97 in Shanghai — his first race under 13 seconds in five years.
He then ran a 12.87 at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore., in June.
That time would have tied Robles’s world record, but it was wind-aided.
Reports of an injury emerged when Liu pulled out of the London Grand Prix
last month after finishing first in the semifinals, but Feng said the
problem had been a continuing issue. Merritt, who advanced by winning an
earlier heat in 13.07 seconds, the fastest time ever in the first round,
said he had spoken with Liu on Tuesday morning and “nothing was wrong with
him going into the race.”
Feng said that Liu had been trying to simulate in training the two-hour
turnaround between the semifinals and final, which will be held on Thursday
night, but that the narrow window had not allowed his Achilles to recover
between races.
Feng said there had been no sign that Liu was risking a major injury by
competing in London, but he was clearly struggling; his left foot hit the
hurdle squarely because he was unable to generate enough spring with his
right. “He couldn’t take off,” Feng said, though he was quick to note
that Liu had no plans to retire.
His inability to get his lead leg over the first hurdle, and his awkward
tumble, drew gasps from the crowd. Turner, running three lanes to Liu’s
right, said he was surprised halfway through the race when he realized Liu
was not running alongside him.
Balazs Baji of Hungary, who was alongside Liu in Lane 3 when Liu fell,
waited for him near the finish as he hobbled up the track. When they met,
Baji raised Liu’s arm like a boxing champion’s.
“I’m so sorry for him,” Baji said.

Column: As epitome of Olympic bitterness, Chinese hurdler burns his way into
memories

LONDON (AP) - Seven steps, five more than in Beijing. But the outcome was
identical: Liu Xiang's Olympics were over, yet again, before they really
began.
The magic ingredient that makes the games such compelling drama isn't the
stadiums or the crowds. It is their rarity. Once every four years -- a gap
long enough to make or break athletes.
Peak and attain perfection at just the right time and their names will live
in Olympic history books forever. Make the slightest mistake or get hurt
when that Olympic window opens once every four years and they might never
get another chance to make it right.
The opportunities for redemption are so few. For some athletes, they never
come. That rarity is what makes Olympic success so sweet, Olympic failure so
bitter and it is why we and why athletes, for as long as they can, keep
coming back for more.
Liu -- the hurdler as famous and loved by Chinese as David Beckham is in
England and Michael Jordan in the United States -- tasted the sweetness once
and, now, the bitterness twice.
Liu may never appreciate this and certainly not while the pain from his
Achilles tendon and from his disappointment in London is so fresh and acute.
But, sometimes, Olympic failures live longer in our collective memories
than the successes.
Name the winner of the women's 3,000 meters at the Los Angeles Olympics in
1984. I would bet good money you didn't think of Maricica Puica or remember
she was Romanian.
But, if you saw that race or just the highlights, the names Mary Decker and
Zola Budd should bring the memories flooding back of them colliding, of the
American tumbling and of her face contorted in anguish as she lay sprawled
on the grass while the other runners carried on without her, chasing the
gold she had been the overwhelming favorite to win.
A more recent one: the men's 400 meters champion in Barcelona in 1992? It
was Quincy Watts. But what you likely remember is not the American's gold
but Derek Redmond being helped across the finish line by his father, Jim,
after his hamstring popped in the semifinals. The British runner's
determination -- dragging his damaged leg, hobbling toward the finish -- and
his father's support -- running onto the track to give Redmond his shoulder
to lean on -- produced one of the most enduring memories of any games.
And, finally, the winner of the men's 110 meters hurdles just eight years
ago, in Athens in 2004?
That's easier, because it was Liu and because his gold was the first won by
an Asian in a sprint event.
But, as our memories of that success fade, we'll remember Liu more for his
epic Olympic disappointments and the sight of him hopping on his good leg
and dragging his bad, both in Beijing in 2008 and now in London.
That is not being purposefully nasty. It's simply because for mere mortals,
non-Olympians, it is difficult if not impossible to truly imagine just how
sweet it is to be in an Olympic champion's shoes. But bitterness and
heartbreak, well, they are things we all experience and can share and which,
because of that, sometimes mark us more deeply. Crushing failure is
tangible for all of us. Knowing what it feels like to stand on the Olympic
medal podium, for most of us, is not.
And that is why the crowd in the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium clapped for Liu
after he pushed out of the starting blocks, took seven steps, clattered
into the first hurdle, fell and, a few minutes later, picked himself up and
hopped on his left leg the length of the straight to the finish.
Everyone understood his pain. Everyone could appreciate his courage. Many
also will have understood that the London Games were Liu's chance -- perhaps
his final chance -- to redeem the disaster of Beijing.
Liu went into those Olympics, as British heptathlete Jessica Ennis did in
London, carrying the hopes of the host nation. And since China has 1.3
billion people, that is a lot of hope, indeed. Anyone who was there will not
have forgotten the gasps in the Bird's Nest stadium and how Chinese
spectators wept when Liu pulled up lame after just two full strides in his
first qualifying round.
Likewise, the sight on Tuesday of Liu briefly resting himself on the 10th
hurdle, having hopped the length of the track, will stick with spectators in
London.
Same goes for the compassion shown by other hurdlers. Balazs Baji of Hungary
waited for Liu at the finish, shook his hand and raised it above their
heads as though he were the Olympic champion. Britain's Andrew Turner and
Spain's Jackson Quinonez helped Liu into a waiting wheelchair so he could be
taken away from the track.
"That's two Olympics in a row he's limped off with an Achilles problem -- I
wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I rate him as one of the best hurdlers
we've had in the world ever. I don't like to see that kind of thing,"
Turner said.
But Turner also added "that in a few years" this searing Olympic moment
would be remembered "like some Derek Redmond kind of thing."
The fact that Liu was wearing the same bib number in Tuesday's preliminary
race -- 1356 -- as in the race in Beijing was bizarre, but nothing more than
that. His "DNF" -- "Did Not Finish" on the results sheet then and now had
nothing to do with fate and everything to do with the right Achilles tendon
that has plagued him for years. He rubbed it tenderly after his fall.
Doctors who examined Liu at the stadium suspected the tendon may have
ruptured, said the head of China's track team, Feng Shuyong. Feng added that
it might have happened when Liu pushed off his right leg to clear the first
hurdle, "because we all know that at the moment of taking off the tendon
would bear very, very big ... pressure."
"I'm very sad about this outcome but I'm also proud of him, because Liu
Xiang, from 2008 to now, has worked bitterly hard to take part in these
Olympic Games. He has given so much," Feng said. "In the struggle with his
injury, he has overcome one difficulty after another and got back to a
pretty good level, but at the crucial juncture of the Olympic Games he got
injured again."
Of course, hopping bravely to the finish isn't why Liu worked so hard. But
the bitterness of that, of being unable to right the wrong of Beijing, of
those rare, once every four-year chances that evaporated so agonizingly for
him, will ensure Liu is remembered for a long, long time.
