Answer 1

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 Tencent Website, about 54 percent of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal. While nearly 30 percent of the citizens 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 don’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.
