Brief introduction of Liu Xiang

Original name

Liu Xiang should have been called Liu Ji (because it was popular at that time to take his father's surname as his surname and his mother's surname as his first name. Liu Xiang's father's name is Liu Xuegen, and his mother's name is Ji Fen. The pronunciation of Putonghua is like failing a grade, so it was rejected by relatives. Later, Liu Xiang's uncle and uncle proposed Liu Qiang's name, hoping that he would be strong, but Liu Xiang's mother opposed it, because the child who lived near their home at that time was called "Qiangqiang" and was a disobedient child. In the end, my uncle put forward the name of Liu Xiang. The pronunciation of "Xiang" and "Qiang" is similar in Shanghai dialect, and "Xiang" means flying and auspicious. Therefore, the name Liu Xiang was finally established.

When Liu Xiang was a child, he received high jump training. After entering the sports school, the coach found that his adult height could not guarantee him to become a world-class high jumper. Therefore, at the suggestion of the sports school coach, Liu Xiang began to turn to hurdle training in 1998. In 22, Liu Xiang broke the 24-year-old world youth record in the 11m hurdles. The following year, he won a bronze medal in the world track and field championships, thus entering the ranks of the world's top hurdlers. In the 24 Athens Olympic Games, although Liu Xiang was not widely expected to win the gold medal in the 11m hurdles before the competition, in the final, he gave full play to his technical advantages, took the lead in crossing the finish line by nearly three meters, and tied the world record for 11 years with a score of 12.91 seconds. Liu Xiang was the first China male athlete to win the gold medal in the Olympic track and field events. Liu Xiang was only 21 years old when he won this Olympic gold medal. Now he is working hard to win this gold medal in the 28 Beijing Olympic Games.
