The National Day holiday gave no time to rest for some of China's best athletes. Shanghai's Chenzhuang Training Base has been busy this week. Track star Liu Xiang was there to continue his rehab from injury, as he looks for a third straight Asian Games 110m hurdles title.

Coach Sun Haiping says that Liu Xiang's rehabilitation and conditioning has improved since returning in early September from a stay in the US.

With the Guangzhou Asian Games quickly approaching, Liu is ramping up his training sessions.

Sun Haiping said, "His situation is good at times, but, how should I put it, the training does affect him. Sometimes when he wears spiked shoes for specific practice, the impact is very obvious. His strong will helps him get through it. The possibility is small for a hundred percent recovery. "

Although he has yet to fully recover from his injury, Liu Xiang, will attend the Asian Games...and his goal is clear.

Liu Xiang said, "As one of the older athletes, it's my desire to run for a third successive title. That is the reason now, at the end of the season I am still taking on such intense training. It's for the Asian Games. So hope I can run well and have a good result. "

Liu Xiang, still working and still committed to once again, returning to the top of Asia and perhaps in time, the world.
