Olympic champion Liu Xiang of China clocked 13.21 seconds to win the men's 110m hurdles at the East Asian Games in Macao.
The East Asian Games' brightest star Liu Xiang stormed home first at the men's 110m hurdles.
The Olympic champion clocked 13.21 seconds, well off his world record of 12.91.
Liu's teammate Shi Dongpeng, who had a false start, timed 13.36 seconds for the silver with Japan's Kota Kumamoto in third place in 13.89.
Liu became one of China's biggest celebrities after winning a gold and leveled the world record in the Athens Olympics last year.
His top time this year is 13.05 seconds, which is 0.08 seconds behind this season's best 12.97 set by Frenchman Ladji Doucoure, who beat Liu into second place in the world championships.
Liu ran 13.10 at last month's Chinese National Games in Nanjing.
