BEIJING: Chinese star hurdler Liu Xiang has publicly apologised for letting the nation down after he quit the Olympics due to an injury but also vowed to stage a comeback. Liu, 25, World and Olympic champion, pulled out of the 110m hurdles qualifying heats because of a worsened tendon injury in his right foot, dashing China’’s only gold hope in Olympic track. “So many people have been worried and caring about me. I feel sorry. I could do nothing but pull out of the race,” Liu told Chinese state television last night, which aired a partial interview with Liu on Tuesday. “I didn”t feel right when I was warming up before the race,” said Liu. “I knew my foot would fail me. I felt painful when I was just jogging,” she added.
