The sequence of pictures on the right show Xiang (red vest on the
right) on his way to the silver medal in the final of the mens 110m
Hurdles at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki. He clocked 13.08
secs to finish just 1 hundredth of a second behind France's Ladji
Doucoure (blue vest), with defending champion Allen Johnson of the USA
(centre in white) taking the bronze.
The photo on the left shows Liu,
who won the previous years Olympics, in full flow during the heats.
