Liu xiang prepares for Doha showdown

We start with China's athletics hero, training for his first international test of the season.

Hurdling megastar Liu Xiang will compete in Doha, Qatar later this week after making a remarkable return from injury last year.

Liu Xiang's latest practice for the Doha Indoor World Championships focused on light training instead of a strenuous workout. The former Olympic champion is suffering some inflammation in his injured foot.

Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang's coach, said, "there is a little problem. His archillies tendon has a slight inflammation. We did a medical test on his foot and discovered the symptom. Liu's foot feels pretty sore."
