Considered the biggest track and field star at the Beijing Games, the defending champion withdrew from his race, causing great surprise and disappointment for his fans.

Despite pressure from the public and watching rival Cuban Dayron Robles grab Olympic gold medal so easily, Liu has stayed calm and vows to return stronger than ever.

"I am not upset after watching the final race," he said in his column in the Liberation Daily after the finals of the Olympic men's 110m hurdles. "On the contrary, I still feel the desire for victory burning. I am still young. I have the potential. I can fight on against him (Robles)."

His coach said he will not push Liu to train unless he fully recovers .

"We will resume normal training when the doctors confirm that he has fully recovered. Liu is young and still at the peak of his career. I believe he will regain his best form."
