HELSINKI, August 10 (Xinhua) -- Olympic champion Liu Xiang said he has spared
energy for Friday's final after sailing into the semifinals at the men's 110m
hurdles at the 10th world championships here on Wednesday.
The
22-year-old Chinese set the fastest time of 13.73 seconds in the preliminaries
en route to winning Heat 2 against a headwind of 0.3 meters per second.
"Actually, I don't care the time," he said. "It's the first round. the time
is not important as long as it can send me to the next round."

first round as a warm-up for Friday's final.
"I want to spare more energy for the final," he said.
