　　Terrence R. Trammell (born November 23, 1978 to Julie and Roger Trammell in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.) is a track and field athlete who won the silver medal in the 110 meter hurdles at both the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics

　　When you have the power to squash the dreams of 1.3 billion people, you're one of the most influential Olympians. Trammell, a two-time silver medalist in the 110m hurdles, is one of two major threats to Chinese hero Liu Xiang, the defending world and Olympic champion (Cuba's Dayron Robles, who just broke Liu's world record time, is the other). Liu is a China poster boy; its sports officials have made no secret that anything less than gold is unacceptable. "He'll be under an extreme amount of pressure," says Trammell. "He's pretty much holding a nation on his shoulders." Trammell thinks the heat on Liu will only help the American. "I'm going to win," he says.

　　如果你有碾碎13亿人的梦想的能力的话，那你一定是奥运会上最有影响的人物之一。特拉梅尔获得过两次110米栏亚军，是刘翔获夺取金牌的两个主要威胁者之一(另外一个就是刚刚打破了刘翔的记录的古巴小将戴隆•罗伯斯)。刘翔作为中国的模范，中国体育官员曾毫不隐瞒的表示，刘翔拿不到金牌将是件令人无法接受的事情。“他将处于极大的压力之下，”特拉梅尔说，“他几乎将整个民族的担子都扛在了自己的肩上”。特拉梅尔认为，刘翔身上巨大的压力对美国来说有利无弊。“我会赢的。”他说。
