I was a little shocked today hearing Chinese Olympics athlete Liu Xiang (劉翔) has to withdraw from the competition due to injury. Looking at Liu Xiang's condition through the photos of the event, I was surprised he didn't withdrawn from the competition before it has started. He was clearly in a lot of pain.
Maybe the reason he can't withdrawn is because he bears the hope of 1.3 billion people, people hoping that he will win the gold medal again. This burden is just way too heavy for anyone, not only Liu Xiang to bear.
Hopefully he will recover soon and I look forward to watch him on the field again in the 2012 Olympics.
