Liu Xiang was born on July 13, 1983, in Shanghai, China. He is a hurdling athlete (跨栏运动员).
"He kept running and jumping every day when he was a child. He never sat there quietly," said his
mother. In Grade Four, Liu tried high jump. He was never afraid to try. He was always the first to try
a higher jump. He would jump again and again until he made it!
Later, people said he was not tall enough for high jump. His parents wanted him to stop doing it.
