China Olympic breakthroughs keep coming BEIJING (AFP) - One thing China will take away from their home Olympics will be the series of breakthroughs in sports that previously eluded them and beach volleyball was added to that burgeoning list Thursday.   Nations:Brazil Netherlands Canada   People:Li Na Liu Xiang Emilie Heymans Chen Ruolin   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(AFP)   2008-08-21 After disappointing 1500, Lagat moves on in 5K BEIJING - Bernard Lagat advanced to the 5,000-meter final, hoping to salvage his Olympics and maybe start a rally Wednesday for the struggling U.S. track team.   Nations:Jamaica Kenya   People:Bernard Lagat Dawn Harper Liu Xiang   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(AP)   2008-08-20 Jones leads US charge on China's medal stranglehold BEIJING, (AFP) - Lolo Jones leads a United States charge to build Olympic momentum Tuesday as China maintain their stranglehold on the medals table, poised to replace the US as the global sports power.   Nations:Argentina Brazil Jamaica Nigeria New Zealand Spain   People:Liu Xiang   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(AFP)   2008-08-19 China's Track Superstar Drops Out It was the race all of China - and, no, this is not journalistic hyperbole - was waiting for. On Aug. 18, under a hazy Beijing sky, Chinese mega-star Liu Xiang was supposed to cruise to victory in heat six of the 110m hurdles' first round. His competitors were, frankly, uninspiring - the man with the second fastest personal best after Liu's 12.88 seconds was a Dutchman who had clocked in a relatively leisurely 13.35 seconds. This was going to be the moment of glory for a man for whom a Beijing gold medal was the foremost wish among the Chinese people, according to a nationwide poll. A sea of Chinese flags waved. The Bird's Nest Stadium thrummed with expectation.   People:Liu Xiang Terrence Trammell Yao Ming   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(Time)   2008-08-18 Liu injury darkens China's brightest Games BEIJING (AFP) - Chinese superstar Liu Xiang sensationally pulled out of the 110m hurdles heats injured Monday, putting a huge dampener on China's celebrations at achieving their most successful Olympics.   Nations:Australia Jamaica Portugal Denmark Brazil New Zealand   People:Bernard Lagat Liu Xiang Kerron Clement   Activities:2008 Beijing Olympics   Source:(AFP)   2008-08-18 Headlines China Olympic breakthroughs keep coming 2008-08-21 After disappointing 1500, Lagat moves on in 5K 2008-08-20 Jones leads US charge on China's medal stranglehold 2008-08-19 China's Track Superstar Drops Out 2008-08-18 Liu injury darkens China's brightest Games 2008-08-18 Hurdler Liu Xiang leaves Olympics with leg injury 2008-08-18 USA banking on medals leap 2008-08-18 Women's discus is US's first track and field gold 2008-08-18 Yang Wei finally gets gold in men's gymnastics 2008-08-14 China's Olympic dream nears but concerns remain 2008-08-08 Olympic torch arrives in Beijing 2008-08-05 China's athletes march toward one goal -- gold 2008-08-04 Police struggle to control Beijing Olympic ticket chaos 2008-07-25 US hopes Olympic rivals will be singing America's tune 2008-07-07 US hurdlers take aim at China's golden hero Liu 2008-07-03 Athlete keeps cool during anthem mix-up 2008-03-10 China's superstar hurdler Liu has no worries about limelight 2008-03-07 Liu Xiang to skip Golden League to focus on Olympics 2007-12-27 China's Liu claims world title in thriller 2007-08-31 Liu saving best for last 2007-08-31 Asian Games grow bigger, better and all about China 2006-12-16 Bahrain and China share track spoils as Kim kickstarts pro golf career 2006-12-11 China's Liu makes 110m-hurdles history 2006-07-11 China dials "119" to break out of Olympics gold niche 2004-08-29 Liu Xing make China track history with first Olympics golds 2004-08-27 Most-viewed Yang Wei finally gets gold in men's gymnastics 2008-08-14 Olympic torch arrives in Beijing 2008-08-05 China's athletes march toward one goal -- gold 2008-08-04 Jones leads US charge on China's medal stranglehold 2008-08-19 USA banking on medals leap 2008-08-18 Women's discus is US's first track and field gold 2008-08-18 Liu injury darkens China's brightest Games 2008-08-18 China's Track Superstar Drops Out 2008-08-18 China's Olympic dream nears but concerns remain 2008-08-08 China Olympic breakthroughs keep coming 2008-08-21 After disappointing 1500, Lagat moves on in 5K 2008-08-20 Hurdler Liu Xiang leaves Olympics with leg injury 2008-08-18 Police struggle to control Beijing Olympic ticket chaos 2008-07-25 US hurdlers take aim at China's golden hero Liu 2008-07-03 China dials "119" to break out of Olympics gold niche 2004-08-29 US hopes Olympic rivals will be singing America's tune 2008-07-07 Asian Games grow bigger, better and all about China 2006-12-16 Bahrain and China share track spoils as Kim kickstarts pro golf career 2006-12-11
