Trammell punched his ticket for his third Olympic Games with his runner-up finish at the 2008 Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. He was not as fortunate at the Olympic Games in Beijing where a left hamstring strain during the opening round forced him out of the competition. Trammell recorded his second USA Outdoor championship in the 110m hurdles in 2007 and followed that up by winning the silver medal at the World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan in 12.99 seconds. Also in 2007, Trammell ran his career best time of 12.95 seconds in placing second at the Reebok Grand Prix in New York City. He ended the 2007 season ranked #3 in the world by Track & Field News, which equals his highest-ever global ranking, also achieved in 2003 and 2004. He was ranked #1 in the U.S. for the first time in his career. Trammell’s 2005 season was highlighted by a personal best performance of 13.02 seconds in placing third at the USA Outdoor Championships in Carson, Calif. Trammell enjoyed another banner season in 2004 highlighted by his win at the Olympic Trials, and his second Olympic silver medal (13.18). Trammell finished second to Liu Xiang of China, who equaled the world record with his time of 12.91. He had an outstanding 2000 and 2001, winning the 2000 Olympic silver medal and going unbeaten in the 60m sprint and hurdles indoors in 2001, winning the World Indoor title in the hurdles. Nearly 2 years of collegiate and then world-class competition took its toll late in 2001 and in 2002 indoors, when he struggled. He came back to win the 2002 USA Indoor title at 60m, providing a positive spark for the outdoor season.
