Liu Xiang Quit Reebok New York Track And Field Grand Prix Due To Injury

In June 1st, Liu Xiang, the Chinese man's 110 meter hurdles, quit the New York Reebok track and field Grand Prix due to injury, and soon became the top news of the domestic media.

Because it is only more than 60 days away from the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, Liu Xiang's trip to the United States is the only two warm-up opportunity before his Olympic Games, and its importance is self-evident.

When Sun Haiping introduced Liu Xiang's injury, he said that this is a normal muscle soreness. "It is a normal response to heavy exercise in the previous month."

Sun Haiping pointed out that the previous stage of training caused Liu Xiang's leg muscle strength to increase.

Two days before Liu Xiang's training, he had to cancel the match because of some discomfort in his right ankle and right thigh root.

The author believes that Sunhai made the decision to quit Liu Xiang's match equally, and may even give up the US Eugene classic this weekend.

But the retirement match will have some influence on Liu Xiang's preparation for the Beijing Olympic Games.

First of all, Liu Xiang's 13 second, 18 person best performance this year was created by him at the Yokohama Grand Prix in May 10th, ranking fourth this year.

This is Liu Xiang's only outdoor international competition this year.

Therefore, in the two consecutive US grand prix, the best performance and state of this year to 13 seconds should be Liu Xiang's goal.

If Liu Xiang really gave up the Eugene station competition, how Liu Xiang's condition and performance will reach a more satisfactory level before the Olympic Games will be a question that coach Sun Haiping must consider.

Because Liu Xiang in the domestic how to practice and competition, I am afraid it is difficult to reach the effect of warming up with foreign experts.

This is not just a result, but also a psychological one.

Liu Xiang is recognized as a contestant, with good psychological quality and able to control himself well in the competition. Therefore, in the past two years, many famous players including Trammell and Cuban young Robles will be hit hard and have certain psychological advantages.

It should be said that one of the purposes of Liu Xiang's warm-up is to temper his mentality and deterrent his opponent.
