"I really want to compete at the World Championships, especially on my home soil, but the chances for me to compete in Beijing seem to be very limited. I will try to find other ways to join the Beijing worlds," said the 31-year-old, who was presented by the organizers as one of the seven promoting ambassadors for the tournament.
"I have competed in five editions of World Championships, in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2011 respectively. Through these competitions I have grown from a rookie hurdler into a world champion," Liu said.
"As a veteran I feel proud to see the World Championships to be held in China. And I will definitely be part of the World Championships no matter in what way."
Liu underwent surgery in London after he limped out of the men's 110m hurdles for the second consecutive Olympics with a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2012 and is yet to return to competition following more than two years of rehabilitation.
