18/8/2008 18:13
Liu Xiang's head coach Sun Haiping broke into tears in the press
conference while hailing his student as a "fighter".
"He has been keeping
fighting and fighting until the last moment," said Sun.
Defending champ Liu
pulled out of the Olympic 110m hurdles first round because the five or
six-year-old tendon injury in the right foot got worse.
"I know that kind of
pain was unbearable," said Feng Shuyong, head coach of the Chinese team.
Feng
admitted Liu has been under great pressure as a Chinese sports icon.
"But he
is great athlete and very strong mentally," he said.
