Liu Jing beats fellow Chinese Feng Yun for women's hurdles gold
11/12/2006 10:42

Liu Jing upset fellow Chinese Feng Yun to win the women's 100 meters hurdles at the Asian Games here on Sunday, ruling out a title defending effort from the 30-year-old.

The National Games title holder of China, 29, clocked 12.93 seconds for the gold medal, beating the former Asiad champion of Busan Feng Yun to the second on 13.10.

South Korea's Lee Yeon-Kyung took the bronze medal after timing 13.23 following the Chinese duo.

"Finally I made it! I'm very glad to take the gold," said an elated Liu.

"I don't think it makes any different whether Feng or I to take the title," she added.

It's not the first time that Liu Jing upset Liu Yun, another trainee of Sun Haiping who coaches Olympic champion and the men's 110m hurdles record holder Liu Xiang.

In last year's National Games of China, Liu Jing beat Feng in the same event for the national title.
