Liu Xiang continues impressive hurdle run
YOKOHAMA, Japan: Chinese Olympic champion Liu Xiang won the 110-metre hurdles at the Yokohama track and field meet yesterday, his second victory in three days after powering his way to the title at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix on Saturday.
Four-time world champion Allen Johnson of the United States and 2005 world champion Ladji Doucoure of France did not compete in Japan. "It is a good result. And the time is the same as what I achieved at the Helsinki World Championships. I am very satisfied with the result. I came here to win and I did," said Liu, whose bid to become world champion failed in Helsinki in August when he finished in second place, 0.01 second behind Doucoure. "It was comfortable. I think I will be able to run under 13 seconds again sooner or later but I'm not losing sleep over it or putting pressure on myself," Liu said. Apart from Liu, several other big guns won their events.
