DOHA, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- World record holder Liu Xiang of China stormed to a stylish victory in the men's 110m hurdles final at the Asian Games here on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old Liu, who shattered the world record when he clocked 12.88 seconds at an IAAF meet in Lausanne in July this year, finished in a Games record of 13.15 to retain his Asian Games title. Four years ago, he scored a runaway victory in the 110m hurdles in 13.27.

His teammate Shi Dongpeng took the silver with a personal best time of 13.28, and Japan's Masato Naito had the bronze in 13.60.

Liu's coach Sun Haiping said he was very satisfied with the result.

"Liu's time was under 13.20, and Shi gave his best ever running, so I am very satisfied," said Sun.

Heavily favored to win the event, Liu has set a modest target of 13.20 before the Asian Games.
