"Liu Xiang was my all-time hero. He made history. He is such a nice big brother and mentor. He gave me a lot of suggestions and encouragement. That's one of the reasons I can carry on," said Xie, who made the history of his own by winning gold at the 2017 Incheon Asian Games.
However, the year of 2018 started bumpy for Xie. Haunted by a knee injury during training in the United States, he spent most of the year for treatment and adjustment, and missed the 2018 Diamond League event in Shanghai.
"I wanna go further. Asian's level in this event is relatively low, and we have to go out and see the world. That's why I was training abroad, learning from foreign professionals on training, health management and most importantly, the details of skills and techniques," he said.
"I will focus on strength training, trying to improve my finish speed. I have confidence I can keep my momentum into my 30s," he added.
