Liu Xiang won China’s first gold medal in the world championships (錦標賽) in 12.95 seconds.

“Everybody wants to win a world title. I was nervous before the race. But I dealt with it so I'm very happy,” Liu said with a smile after the race.

Some reporters noticed that at the start, Liu Xiang was crying. He said that is his way of letting off pressure. “My start wasn’t good, maybe because I was nervous or because I was a bit slow,” he said.
