Liu Xiang retired to retirement

August 18, 2008,

In the men's 110m competition of the Beijing Olympic Games, Liu Xiang chose to withdraw from the competition. Before the warm-up before the game, Liu Xiang was unwell, and several test runs made his expression more painful. After the start of the race, starting only five or six meters, Liu Xiang was in pain, so he bowed his head to the side passage and gave up the game.

Liu Xiang, who has attracted thousands of eyes, has suffered insults from the Chinese people, and the nickname of "Liu Run" has spread throughout the north and south of the river, and Liu Xiang's once glorified god is no longer glamorous, and he fell to the bottom overnight.

In fact, Liu Xiang's withdrawal was not sudden. In June of that year, at the New York Competition, Liu Xiang gave up the race due to the discomfort of his right leg, and the Eugene Athletics Competition ended his trip to the United States with two withdrawals. Liu Xiang's heel pain increased during the training class.

In order to return to the field, Liu Xiang decided to go to the United States for consultation. On October 29, 2008, led by Yao Ming, Liu Xiang and Sun Haiping boarded a flight to the United States, and Cranton, a doctor of the Houston Rocket Team, diagnosed Liu Xiang, and after more than a month of discussion, Liu Xiang finalized the operation. On December 5, the operation was successful. In August 2008, Liu Xiang finally put on his spikes and returned to the training ground.

On September 20, 2009, Liu Xiang announced his return at the Shanghai Athletics Golden Grand Prix with a slight defeat to Trammell. The following year, he won the Asian Games. But some fans' memories stay in his bravery of the year, and they don't look up to the medal of this little fight.

When the outside world was once again full of expectations for Liu Xiang, at the London Olympic Games, Liu Xiang made the audience collapse collectively with the same mistakes as the Beijing Olympic Games!

In the preliminary round of the 110-meter hurdles, Liu Xiang fell with his left foot in the hurdles and failed to complete the race. After adjustment, Liu Xiang walked to the finish line with the "golden rooster independence" and only relied on the support of his left foot to congratulate the other contestants, while the other runners gave Liu Xiang a wheelchair and watched him leave.

At this point, the screen back of a national hero is only disabled.

Then, there was the news of Liu Xiang's retirement in 2015.

In those years of retirement, Liu Xiang only got insults and denunciations. Some people even believe that Liu Xiang was so badly injured, which does not mean that there must be an ulterior motive behind the capital shady curtain.

And this money is all paid by the China Athletics Management Center. Liu Xiang's commercial contracts are all responsible for by the competent authorities, and he can only participate in the share, which can be divided into about 50%.

Can't say that only consider themselves, the overall situation, but also for the benefit of athletics management, Liu Xiang chose to grit his teeth and insist.

Although Liu Xiang has withdrawn from the field, Liu Xiang has saved up his life savings with his early accumulation, and now he is idle and wild cranes, living a simple and happy life.

With the new sports myth spreading again, the rise of Su Bingtian also made the Chinese people realize the misunderstanding of Liu Xiang at the beginning, and they expressed their apologies, and Liu Xiang's response to this was only a sentence of "they don't owe me" and "can understand". Liu Xiang's mind gave the opportunity for the quality of the people to grow, and also gave him the joy of rebirth.
