Liu became the first Chinese male athlete to get a world indoor medal in the 18-year history of the championship and was the only Asian medallist this time. Karaoke (卡拉OK)! Thats what Im going to do. Im going to get a big group of my friends together and sing. I love both Western and Chinese music 。but especially Michael Jackson, said Liu after clocking 7.52 seconds in the final to take his place on the podium (领奖台). Frankly speaking, I didnt think I was in the shape to win a medal, Liu 　said. On myarrival here, my aim was just to fight my way into the final. After I did that, I thought I might just get into the top six. I knew British hurdler Colin Jackson was going to be here and hes the world record holder 　indoors and out. 　There was also Cubas reigning (统治的) Olympic champion Anier Garcia and 　Allen Johnson, from the United States. It was Johnson, the reigning world 　outdoor champion, who was successful in 7.47 seconds with Garcia second and Jackson finished back in fifth. 　Now Liu will never underestimate his chances again and is aiming for glory 　in Paris later this year. There is the World Championship outdoors in the summer and I have now got to think that I can get a medal. I can never again think that I cant get a 　medal, he said. Lius success here marks his rapid transition into the senior ranks. 　The university gives me a lot of flexibility. My courses are very easy and the teachers are very helpful, said Liu. 　They might have to be even more accommodating(乐于助人的) now if Liu starts taking on celebrity status, although an invite to his homecoming karaoke party may help. 　41.
