Call it a comeback. Sat front row to catch Liu Xiang, China’s former world champion hurdler and national treasure kill it in his first race since pulling out of the Olympics. Although he didn’t come in First, he came Second. And not just any petty Second, it came down to 1 measly microsecond. Amazing finish and truly awesome how much support and love the people of Shanghai have for their local hero.

“I didn’t expect I could run so fast……but once I stepped on the track I could not hold back,” … “I felt like I had been infused by an enthusiastic spirit” – Liu Xiang
