Liu clears the final hurdle on his way to gold in the 110m hurdles as France's Ladji Doucoure hits the last obstacle in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, Aug 27, 2004. Liu won in a world record-equaling time of 12.91 sec, matching the feat of Colin Jackson, who ran 12.91 sec in Stuttgart, Germany, in August 1993. He was China's first men's Olympic gold medal winner in track and field. [Photo by Xu Jingxing/China Daily]
