On December 14, Liu Xiang, Gold Medalist in Athens and Yang Yang, short track speed skater took their participation in Turin Olympics Torch Relay 2006 in Florence, Italy. In the downtown of Florence, local as well as overseas residents of China had overcrowded the streets. At 19:30 (local time), Yang lit up the torch which was being held by the Liu.
Amidst huge fanfare, Liu ran through one of their oldest bridge. Students as well as teachers from one of the local linguistic study school of Chinese were waiting for him. As soon as he arrived there, they started chanting his name. Liu made a landmark in the Olympic history by wining the 110 meter hurdles during Athens Olympics.
