Liu Xiang is working hard to break the 110-meter men's hurdle world record and
thinks yoga can help.
"I had been looking for a new training regime for Liu which could help him in
achieving the 12:90 world record for a long time," said Sun Haiping, who coached
the Shanghai native to win China's first-ever Olympic men's gold in athletics in
Athens. Liu equalled the world mark of 12:91 in the Athens final. "Liu's result
has been impressive this winter, better than last year," said Sun. "He should be
able to reach his best in summer."
