Chinese Liu Xiang finishes with 13:27 at the first round of the men's 110m hurdles preliminary at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games August 24, 2004.
He has struck an early blow in his bid to deprive 1996 Olympic champion Allen Johnson of the title: he won his heat and recorded a far superior time.
 
Liu Xiang recorded the third fastest time of the first round of heats, behind Frenchman Ladji Doucoure and 2000 Olympic champion Anier Garcia of Cuba, who has missed most of the last year after suffering five different leg injuries.
Johnson finished third in his heat, but said he isn't in the least bit concerned about it, though he singled out Liu, the bronze medallist at the world outdoors last year and this year's world indoors, as his biggest threat.
