Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang will quit the upcoming
national indoor track and field meet in Shanghai due to an
injury.
Liu, the world record co-holder of the men's 110-meter hurdles,
sprained his ankle during training on Wednesday.
The national meet will open this Saturday, and Liu was scheduled
to run in the men's 60-meter hurdles race.
He was disqualified after his second false-start in the final
during last year's meet.
