In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.
According to a survey conducted by Sina Website,about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal;While nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.
In my opinion,it's a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race. For one thing,nothing is more important than health and sports doesn't mean sacrificing one's health for a gold medal;for another,after Liu Xiang recovers fully,he still has many chances to realize his dream.
