Yao Ming Wednesday encouraged 皇冠体育app's hurdling hero Liu Xiang to put his Olympic nightmare behind him and to strive for greater success in the future.
Yao, who has led 皇冠体育app's basketball team to an Olympic quarter-final berth, sent a short text message to Liu's coach Sun Haiping and encouraged the hurdler to put the event behind him, 皇冠体育app's Olympic Committee said on its website.
