《劉翔的公開信》
致謝所有關心和支持我的人：
感謝那么多關心我的人給我的理解和支持，此時此刻我的心也還在為退賽和由此給大家的失望感到難過。
2001年7月13日北京申奧成功的那一天，正好是我18歲的生日。
這讓我的生日慶祝與申奧成功的喜悅聯繫在了一起。
雖然那時我還是一名不為人知的運動員，但參加北京奧運會是每一名運動員的夢想，為此，我一直付出著百分之百的努力。
2004年雅典奧運會，我實現了奧運冠軍的夢想。
從那時起，在自己的祖國衛冕奧運冠軍就是我心中不可動搖的目標。
我一直喜歡面對挑戰，從來不肯認輸，這就是我的性格。
其實在踏上希臘土地的時候，我就對自己的狀態很有信心。
隨著我奪得越來越多的冠軍和越來越多的人給予我關注和支持，我同時也承受了越來越大的壓力和生活上的困擾。
我不能像同齡人那樣與朋友毫無約束地輕鬆聚會，我也隨時感覺到來自全國的期待的目光。
我知道昨天大家都在熱情期待著我出場，我也很想像以前你們熟悉的樣子衝過終點。
但實在是我的腳……，請相信我心中的難過和疼痛不會比你們少。
同時，也請相信我還是以前的劉翔。
在看到我受傷離場之後，非常非常多的朋友給我發來簡訊，給我打來電話。
真心感謝這么多理解、支持和鼓勵我的朋友。
也要感謝全國人民這些年給予我的巨大支持和榮譽。
我相信自己還是很有實力。
你們會看到跑得更快的劉翔。

《liu's letter to fans》
to all of the people who care about and support me：
many thanks to those who have always understood and supported me. at the moment， i am very sad about having to pull out， which i know has disappointed you all.
july 13， 2001， the day when beijing won the bid to host the olympics， was also my 18th birthday.
thus my birthday celebrations were connected to the joy of winning the bid to host the games.
at that time， i was just an unkown runner. participating in the olympics is every athlete's dream， so i always made a 100% effort.
at the 2004 athens olympics， my dream of becoming an olympic champion came true.
from that moment on， it has been my unshakable aim to defend the olympic title in my motherland.
i love challenges， and never give up. that is my personality.
in fact， from the moment i first set foot on greek soil， i was confident of my form.
as i won more and more titles， and more and more people started paying attention to me and supporting me， i fell under mounting pressure， giving me troubles in my daily life.
i could not enjoy light-hearted parties with my friends， just like my peers did. in addition， at every moment i was conscious of the nation's high expectations.
i know that yesterday passionate people were looking forward to my appearance. i also hoped i could have raced to the finish line， as i did before.
but my foot…… please believe me when i say that the hurt and sadness in my heart are no less than in yours.
and at the same time， please believe i am the same old liu xiang.
many people have sent text messages and made phone calls to me after i had to pull out because of the injury.
thanks to all the friends who understand， support me， and encourage me.
and thanks for the huge support and respect people across the country have given me over the years.
i believe i am still very strong.
you will see a faster liu xiang.
