The shocking news that the duel between the 60m hurdles Dayron Robles and Liu Xiang Chinese will not take place in the next World Athletics Championships Indoor in Istanbul, Turkey, has left fans despondent.

Dayron over "touched" after his victory in the race in Stockholm on 23 February and the hassle, located in the quadriceps in his right leg, has taken its toll on the illusion of many longed to see the rematch.

With the release of Guantanamo hopes are lost, as it is fair to say that the major options were pinned on Cuba Guantanamo pair of Yargelis Savigne and the corridor itself.

The Lord of Guaso was favoritism when it comes to think of a title for the national delegation. No one can deprive of their status as world record holder and Olympic champion be in the 110m hurdles. This combined with the fact that he is the defending champion in the competition.

However, the battle was drawn Robles hard because I would have to face a Liu Xiang who has been impressive on the track and comes with a time of 7.41s 7.50s exceeds that exhibited by the Cuban this season. In addition to the representative of China, the United States shows a triplet of luxury that includes Kevin Craddock (7.46), Aries Merritt (7.43) and Terrence Trammell (7.51), all season with brands that give strong options to fight to reach the podium.

Dayron is a great runner but his current form is far from his best. The 60m hurdles become a very complex discipline that leaves no room for errors and which influences the way in which athletes reach.

Nor is it the first time that the aspirations of thousands are drowned at the foot of a "withdrawal time". Since there are several occasions when dueling vs Liu. Robles are wasted. It seems that this pair of great runners have become specialists in "letting everybody dress without dance."
