Liu Xiang is one of China’s most successful athletes in history. He emerged as a national icon after he brought China its first Olympic gold medal in a men’s track-and-field event in Athens when he was only 21, as millions tuned in back home to cheer the 110m hurdler into the history books.
Liu Xiang is the only male athlete in history to be all of 110-meter hurdles World Record Holder, World Champion, and Olympic Champion. On top of that, he remains the Olympic record holder for the event with a time of 12.91 seconds he set back in Athens 2004.
