Two Gold Medals Send Us On Top Of The World

Last night belonged to our Chinese. Liu Xiang(Hover Liu) grabbed the gold medal of men's 110-metre hurdles. He finished 12.91 seconds, tying the world record and smashing the Olympic record by 0.04 second, which rewrote the history that China has never savored a gold medal in men's track and field in the Olympic games. Now, let our memory flash back once again to that thrilling moment. A few minutes ahead of the big battle, the air was suffocatingly tense at the start line. Some competitors were so intense that they made off-signals for two times. Next, whoever fouled would be sent off. Anyway, Liu Xiang didn't seem to be affected. All the competitors got set in their starters again. The gun sounded its signal for the second time, Liu Xiang darted out like a wild horse suddenly freed from the tight harness. He built his leading position right after the fifth hurdle, and led for good. When he first dashed the end line our hearts were flying together with the hero, our Chinese flying man. He finished the gold medal with an advantage of 3 metres over the runner-up, which's never happened before, no one has ever won the gold medal by beating the silver-medallist as long as 3 meters, but Liu Xiang made it. When Liu Xiang, covered with the national flag, stepped onto the podium of champion, he smiled with flying color, and our Chinese men, at that moment, could lifted their heads high, maybe from then on Chinese men can hold their heads a little bit higher in front of our lovely Chinese women who always put their compatriot men in the shade by winning more gold medals in the international sports arena. Who said happiness never comes doubly? A few minutes later, Xing Huina took the gold medal in the women's ten thousand meters race, which marked China re-took the leading position in the women's long distance running, after nearly 8 years recession since Wang Junxia won the gold medal in the 26th Olympic games held in Atlanta. Thanks to Liu Xiang and Xing Huina, China grabbed two out of the seven gold medals of the day, which increased China's leading cushion over Germany on the gold medal tally. The Germans, after their women's soccer team beat China's 8-0 in group matches, claimed that they would exceed China to re-take the third position on the gold medal list which they lost to China in last Olympic games in Sydney. With only two days to go, I'm afraid the Germans could by no means collect enough medals to get a notch above us in the later phase "gold rush", even Russia stands little chance. So China can stand firmly on the second position right after America.
