China’s Liu Xiang to Seek Treatment in US

Liu Xiang, China’s star 110m hurdler who had to withdraw from the Beijing event due to an Achille’s heel injury, stated yesterday that he will be traveling to the United States to seek treatment for his heel. Liu Xiang has previously preferred holistic medicine and massage rather than surgery, but says that he is reviewing all options.

Liu Xiang, a world champion, won the Gold Medal in the 110m hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
