Victorious Liu Xiang hams it upPosted by Joel Martinsen, October 26, 2009 12:09 PM
Champion hurdler Liu Xiang won the 110 meters at the National Games yesterday with a time of 13.34 seconds. The win makes three consecutive gold medals for Liu at the National Games. Liu, who was out for more than a year recovering from an injury that forced him to withdraw from the Olympics, returned last month to finish second at the Shanghai Golden Grand Prix. Today's City Woman Post announced the victory on the front page with a photo of a bug-eyed Liu taken at a press conference. Other newspapers went with a Xinhua photograph of Liu on the medal stand, playing to the crowd:  Links and Sources
