Moments after finishing the final 110m hurdles race, Liu Xiang mentioned to the Chinese media hat he
was hit by Robles during the race, but he said that he blamed nobody and 'It's just a game'. An hour later
Robles was disqualified by the organizing committee, and Liu was 'promoted' to the second place.

still pretty confident in myself. The only thing I would blame is I didn't run fast enough, still need to train
more. Thank you for your care and support. Now I just want to go back home and enjoy my vacation!"
