Recovering Liu eyes run at 2015 worlds in Beijing
Print Edition
INJURED star hurdler Liu Xiang could be back in competition next April or May and has set his sights on the 2015 world championships, his coach Sun Haiping said in Shanghai yesterday, ahead of today’s IAAF Diamond League meet.
“As an ordinary person Liu has already recovered. But as a hurdler he still has a long way to go before competing,” said Liu’s long-time coach.
Liu underwent surgery in London after he limped out of the 110-meter hurdles for a second straight Olympics with a ruptured Achilles tendon. The 30-year-old Shanghai native has been in physical rehabilitation since mid-October 2012.
“He has already resumed training but right now he just trains without spikes since wearing spikes will cause more pressure on his injured foot,” Sun said.
“If everything goes well, Liu will be ready to compete again in April or May next year. And it is possible for him to compete in the world championships in Beijing.”
The 2015 IAAF World Championships will be held from August 22 to 30 at the National Stadium, known as the “Bird’s Nest”, which will be the first time for the quadrennial track and field feast to be held in China.
The last time Liu competed at the “Bird’s Nest”, the Athens Olympic and world champion pulled out of the Beijing Games with an aggravated Achilles tendon.
