He beat British hurdler Collin Johnsons record by 0.03 seconds. Johnsons time was 12.91 seconds and Lius was 12.88 seconds. (61)Many had expected Liu to break the world record at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, but Liu did it two years earlier.Even though Liu is the worlds fastest hurdler, some still think that Liu had a slow start during the latest race, (62)他的教练建议他在训练中应该多注意前30米的跨栏。And Liu thinks otherwise.“We actually know how to make Liu run faster within the first 30-meter hurdles,” Sun said. “A special training will do, but Liu might lose his good senses of rhythm if he runs with full speed at first.”“All the training will follow my original plan,” said Sun Haiping, Lius coach. “The 2008 Games have always been the top priority. Its good that Liu Xiang set a new record , but training for the Games still follows the set plan.”(63)Liu Xiang is a proud world record holder now, but his main goal hasnt changed: win the medal for the 110-meter hurdles at the 2008 Games in his hometown, Beijing.根据短文内容，翻译画线句子或回答问题。61.
