In the recently concluded National Games, a group of "multi-gold kings" boarded the pool, as if they did not come to participate, but to "buy". Among them, Wang Shun won 6 gold medals, Xu Jiayu won 5 golds and 1 silver, and Zhang Yufei also won 4 golds and 1 silver. It is worth mentioning that these athletes have all made their mark at the Tokyo Olympics and won many medals. However, in this group of shining "multi-gold kings", there is another existence that cannot be ignored, although she failed to participate in the Olympics, she shined at the National Games, not only won gold and silver medals, but also broke records.
At the 2018 Asian Games, Liu Xiang not only won the gold medal in the 50-meter backstroke, but also broke the world record held by Zhao Jing with a staggering time of 26.98 seconds, which she still holds. In addition, Liu Xiang also holds the Asian record in the 50-meter freestyle.
However, Liu Xiang is not only an excellent athlete, she also has excellent appearance and model-like body. Her tall figure, coupled with her beautiful and pure face, makes her attractive both externally and internally. Perhaps because of this, she has many fans and is widely popular. During the 2015 World Championships in Kazan, Liu Xiang also had an affair with Wang Shun, although Wang Shun was not widely known at the time, but the appearance and temperament of the two were indeed very compatible. Despite the rumors, the two sides never responded to them, and the scandal disappeared.
Although she is 25 years old, in the golden age of a swimmer, Liu Xiang missed out on the Olympic opportunity, which made her regret and eager to prove herself. At the Western Security Games that was about to end, Liu Xiang finally ushered in her moment. She won silver in the women's 4X100m relay with her teammates, and then beat Zhang Yufei in her main 50m freestyle event with a time of 23.97 seconds to win the crown and break her own Asian record again.
After the competition, Liu Xiang said a remarkable sentence in an interview: "Guangdong athletics has Brother Tian, Guangdong swimming has Sister Xiang!" She used this to express her admiration for Su Bingtian, because they represent Guangdong and both have the label of "Guangdong speed". However, this statement caused great controversy.
Many netizens think that Liu Xiang's words are too confident to be compared with Su Bingtian. They also pointed out that at the National Games, Tang Muhan, who was also a member of the Guangdong delegation, won 3 golds and 2 silvers, but did not claim to be able to swim for Guangdong. After all, Tang Muhan won the relay gold medal at the Olympic Games and became the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the delegation, far better than Liu Xiang in terms of strength and achievement.
