Edit this paragraph's character tidbits

Origin of the name

Liu Xiang should have been called Liu Ji (because it was popular at the time to add the father's surname to the mother's surname as the child's name) Name.) Liu Xiang’s father’s name is Liu Xuegen and his mother’s name is Ji Fenhua.

Later, Liu Xiang's uncle and uncle proposed the name "Liu Qiang" in the hope that he would be strong, but Liu Xiang's mother objected because there was a child named "Qiang Qiang" who lived near their home at that time and was very disobedient. In the end, Liu Xiang's uncle proposed Liu Xiang's name. "Xiang" and "Qiang" have similar pronunciations in Shanghai dialect, and "Xiang" means flying and auspicious. Therefore, the name Liu Xiang was finally decided.

Withdrew from the competition

Abandoned the Athletics World Cup

On July 22, 2010, Liu Xiang announced that he would give up the Athletics World Cup to be held in Croatia in September, which sparked a stir. Thousand waves. There are many speculations about the reason why Liu Xiang gave up: is it because of his unhealed foot injury, lack of training, stage fright before the battle, or is he about to retire? On the afternoon of the 21st, this website checked with the Tianjin Management Center, who confirmed that there was only one reason for Liu Xiang to give up the World Cup, and that was the advice given by the doctor. "The doctor believes that Liu Xiang is not suitable to participate in such a high-level competition at the moment. He is worried that it will cause negative effects, so he recommends giving up the World Cup." An official from the Tianjin Management Center said. [3]

The process of giving up

For Liu Xiang, it is indeed a difficult "trough period" right now.

Torn by injuries, Liu Xiang has had few opportunities to appear on the court this season. Apart from the Doha World Indoor Championships in March, the only remaining chance is the Diamond League in Shanghai in May. Too few games was not the original intention of Liu Xiang and Sun Haiping. In their original plans, there were also the Osaka Grand Prix in May and the Croatia World Cup in September. Unfortunately, under the advice of doctors, Liu Xiang and others finally decided to give up the World Cup after careful consideration.

Arousing suspicion

After this news was announced, it triggered a lot of speculation from the outside world. Some people speculated that Liu Xiang was afraid of competing with masters such as Oliver, while others speculated that Liu Xiang had no intention of fighting and planned to retire. In this regard, an official from the Field Management Center provided clarification. "There are many opinions from the outside world, but the reason is actually very simple. This year Liu Xiang mainly focuses on rehabilitation and selectively participates in some games without affecting his foot injury. He originally planned to participate in the World Cup in Croatia, but recently doctors combined Liu Xiang’s current situation was followed by suggestions that Liu Xiang was not suitable to participate in high-intensity competitions such as the World Cup. We were worried that there would be some negative consequences if he participated. Therefore, after repeated consideration with Liu Xiang himself, we finally decided to give up. "

Official explanation

The Field Management Center also expressed its regret and helplessness for giving up the competition this time. "Under the current circumstances, we must first ensure that Liu Xiang's injuries will not recur, and secondly ensure high-quality training. Injuries are a cruel thing for any athlete, but they must be faced. One thing is that Liu Xiang is indeed in a difficult period now. He is currently suffering from injuries. But what is valuable is that Liu Xiang has persisted and has not backed down. He doesn't know where to start talking about retirement. Participating in the 2012 London Olympics, it is too early to talk about retirement. Oliver's recent results are very good. We also congratulate him. He has finally got rid of the injury problem, but Liu Xiang has never been shaken by what his opponents do. Liu Xiang has always been supported by faith, which is not easy. He will definitely persist until the London Olympics."
