In the history of Chinese track and field, Liu Xiang's name will certainly not be forgotten by everyone. As the gold medal winner of the 10-meter hurdles in the 2004 Athens Olympics, Liu Xiang showed the world the speed of the yellow race. Of course, where there is first, there is second. Due to Liu Xiang's invincible existence, Shi Dongpeng, who practices the same event as Liu Xiang, is very embarrassed. Almost all track and field enthusiasts pay attention to Liu Xiang, and few people pay attention to him.
Shi Dongpeng himself is also a very good hurdler player, but with Liu Xiang around, he can only compete for second place, so many people gave him the title of "the second best in the millennium". Shi Dongpeng's talent is not bad. As the strongest hurdler in China besides Liu Xiang, Shi Dongpeng has always regarded Liu Xiang as his pursuit goal, but after all, he is not strong enough. He failed in both the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Due to his own problems, he did not enter the finals. Even at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Liu Xiang announced his withdrawal. When the Chinese people pinned their hopes on Shi Dongpeng, Shi Dongpeng still could not withstand the pressure and did not reach the 110-meter hurdles finals.
Throughout his sports career for more than 10 years, Shi Dongpeng failed to catch up with Liu Xiang, but the emperor paid off. Shi Dongpeng finally defeated Liu Xiang in the Shanghai Track and Field Diamond League in 2010, but at this time Shi Dongpeng's sports career was nearing the end. In the 2012 London Olympics, Shi Dongpeng did not achieve a breakthrough in the Olympics. In 2013, due to serious injuries, Shi Dongpeng chose to retire, thus ending his athletic career.
After retiring, Shi Dongpeng chose to marry his lover, and he also returned to the track and field competition, became an athlete coach, and continued to make his own contribution to China's track and field career. After marriage, Shi Dongpeng and his wife gave birth to two daughters, and the family was happy. Especially compared with Liu Xiang's two troubled marriages, Shi Dongpeng can be said to have counterattacked and become the winner in life.
