Liu Xiang’s Sprinting Shoes Fetched $25 770
Athletics, News February 7th, 2007
The current world record holder of 110 metres hurdles, best bet for next year Beijing Olympics, Liu Xiang, or rather his running shoes, had raised 200 000 Yuan ($25 770) in a charity auction. The auction was held to raise funds for the children of migrant workers in China.
The children of the millions of migrant workers who have flocked to China’s major cities in recent years are often excluded from the same school and health opportunities as established residents.
It’s nice to see athletes, sports men and women do their part for charity. Keep it Up!
