It may not have been the colour he wanted or perhaps, even deserved, but China's Liu Xiang has been awarded his silver medal from a controversial final of the men's 110m hurdles at the Daegu World Athletics Championships. Cuban world record holder Dayron Robles crossed the finish line in first on Monday evening, but he was disqualified after the race for impeding Liu over the final two hurdles. So Robles, handing victory in one of the most anticipated races of the meet to American Jason Richardson. And Liu who came in third was elevated to the silver, while Britain's Andrew Turner moved into the medals, take the bronze. Liu, came so close to claiming the title in his first appearance at a World Championship since 2007, but he has certainly answered any lingering questions regarding his fitness and should now have a little extra motivation heading into next year's London Olympic Games.
