A foot injury had forced Olympic champion Dayron Robles to withdraw at the last minute and hometown hero Liu Xiang stayed away while he recovers from a long-term heel injury that forced him to dramatically pull out of last month's Olympics.

But Chinese hurdler Xie Wenjun helped restore fans' faith, placing second with a personal best time of 13.47 seconds.
