The
National Games title holder of China, 29, clocked 12.93 seconds for the gold
medal, beating the former Asiad champion of Busan Feng Yun to the second on
13.10.
South Korea's Lee Yeon-Kyung took the bronze medal after timing 13.23
following the Chinese duo.
"Finally I made it! I'm very glad to take the gold," said an elated Liu.
"I don't think it makes any different whether Feng or I to take the title,"
she added.
It's not the first time that Liu Jing upset Liu Yun, another trainee of Sun
Haiping who coaches Olympic champion and the men's 110m hurdles record holder
Liu Xiang.
In last year's National Games of China, Liu Jing beat Feng in the same event
for the national title.
