Olympic champion Liu Xiang is gearing up for what he hopes will
be his first victory in the new year at next week's indoor track
and field meet in Shanghai.
Liu, the world record co-holder of the 110-meter hurdles, will
run in the men's 60-meter hurdles race.
He was disqualified after his second false-start in the final at
last year's meet.
Liu will be put to the test again next month at the World Indoor
Championships in Moscow, where he will face fierce challenges from
Frenchman Ladji Doucoure and Allen Johnson of the United
States.
