China’s Lui Xiang has smashed the men’s 110 metres hurdles world record by clocking 12.88 seconds at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne on Tuesday night…. Liu, the Olympic champion, jointly held the previous world 100m hurdles world best with Britain’s Colin Jackson, who ran 12.91 seconds in 1993.
Now, what was that about Spacebunny and how everyone on the Internet was laughing at her crazy comments about speedy Asians? That’s the benefit of actually paying attention to the IAAF instead of making ignorant assumptions based on the fact that some random black kid ran faster than you in eighth grade.
And by the way, I still haven’t received that thousand dollars for proving that Asians can run 10 flat.
