Liu Xiang of China sprints at the men's 110m hurdles of which he won the gold as he tied the 11-year-old world record of 12.91 seconds at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games August 27, 2004.

A real-estate agent in Beijing has offered China's gold medal track stars Liu Xiang and Xing Huina 1 million yuan to reward their prominent performance at Athens Olympic Games.

The two athletes won gold in the men's 110 meter hurdles and women's 10,000 meters run respectively at the Athens Olympics.

The president of the real-estate agency says he made the decision the moment he saw Liu Xiang standing on the victory dias with Chinese national flag draped across his shoulders, reported China Radio International on Sunday.

He adds although it was a hasty decision, he feels no regret about it.
