The skill of American surgeon Tom Clanton will have a bearing on whether superstar hurdler Liu Xiang gets another shot at competing for Olympic gold in four years' time.

Officials broke their silence yesterday to confirm beyond any shadow of a doubt that China's pride and joy in the field of athletics will go under the knife later this month in Houston.

Athens gold medalist Liu was unable to defend his Olympic title in Beijing in August, much to the disappointment of home fans, when a crippling Achilles injury sent him hobbling off the Bird's Nest track in pain during preliminary heats of the 110m hurdles.
