Chinese hurdler Xie Wenjun stunned a star-studded track by winning the men's 110-meter hurdles with a personal best of 13.23 seconds at the 2014 Diamond League Shanghai meet on May 18. He finished third in the last Shanghai meet in 2013.
Xie, 23, claimed his second International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) event title in less than a week when he clocked 13.31 seconds at the 2014 IAAF World Challenge Beijing on May 21.
Xie has been guided by the same coach as China's star hurdler Liu Xiang, an Olympic Gold medalist and World Champion. Xie made it to the semi-finals of the 110-meter hurdles in the London Olympic Games in 2012. |
