Sprinter thanks his 'eyes' for the prize

Standing on top of the Paralympic podium, blind sprinter Liu Xiangkun thought he should give half of his gold medal to Chen Liang, his guide.

"I was wondering why there wasn't a gold for Chen. I think my medal belongs to both of us," Liu told China Daily yesterday.

On Tuesday, the 28-year-old won gold as part of China's 4x100m relay T11-T13 team, which set a new world record in the process.
