He said, "I have tried all kinds of training recently, like pulling the rubber string, and wearing the heavyweight coat. My aim is to improve my speed in the first three hurdles. It is not the same for Dayron Robles and Oliver. It's very difficult, but I will try my best to shorten the gap on them during the first three hurdles."
刘翔说：“最近我已经尝试了各种训练，如拉拉橡皮带，穿有重量的衣服。我的目标是在前三栏里加快速度。这跟戴龙罗伯斯和奥利弗情况不同。这是非常困难的，但是我会尽全力在前三栏里缩短跟他们之间的差距。”
