My Liu Xiang Story



Before the race I was thinking, I have to win otherwise the people in China will hate me and try to kill me. Feeling nervous and scared, I waved to the crowd before I started running over the hurdles.

While I was running, I crashed to the floor just on my first hurdle because I hit my leg. As I fell, I thought to myself that my goal was over and I might just have to give up on this and retire.
                                                                                        

Painfully my leg was sore and badly hurt. My Achilles Tendon felt broken and I think that my bone was cracked and I couldn’t stand on it. I felt so embarrassed because the crowd was looking at me sitting on the floor.
                                                       

I was feeling so shy and nervous as I hopped my way down the track and straight out of the stadium as fast as I could.My leg was feeling so sore and uncomfortable while I was hopping.When I was in the tunnel, one of the officialscame up to me and said “You are not allowed to be in here right now” so I turned and walk out of the tunnel.


I hopped all the way track and went to the last hurdle and kissed it.Two of the people that was racing me came and helped me to the finish line.
