 　　TOKYO, May 6 (Xinhua) -- China's star hurdler Liu Xiang took the opening win in his outdoor season, storming to top podium in the men's 110-meter hurdles2 event at the IAAF Golden Grand Prix in Kawasaki, Japan on Sunday.

　　With the absence of big names including Cuba's world record holder3 Dayron Robles as well as America's David Oliver, Aries Merritt and Ryan Wilson, the 28-year-old Liu emerged as the hottest favorite in Kawasaki. And Liu Xiang also proved his strength in the race, claiming the convincing victory in 13.09 seconds as he led from the start on a wet track.
