Beijing, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Liu Xiang's head coach Sun Haiping broke into tears in the press conference while hailing his student as a "fighter".
"He has been keeping fighting and fighting until the last moment," said Sun.
Defending champ Liu pulled out of the Olympic 110m hurdles first round because the five or six-year-old tendon injury in the right foot got worse.
"I know that kind of pain was unbearable," said Feng Shuyong, head coach of the Chinese team.
Feng admitted Liu has been under great pressure as a Chinese sports icon.
"But he is great athlete and very strong mentally," he said.
