刘翔在伦敦当地时间今天上午的奥运会男子110米栏预赛中摔倒，没能闯入半决赛。在腾讯记者今天专访著名的埃蒙斯夫妇时，这两位经历了奥运各种起伏的射击名将们鼓励刘翔，“体育只是其中很小的一部分。生活是美好的，奥运的结果不会改变这一切。”

伦敦奥运会是刘翔的第三次奥运之旅，也是埃蒙斯夫妇的第三次奥运旅程。当从记者口中得知刘翔因伤没能闯过预赛后，马修-埃蒙斯很惊讶，“真的吗？这又一次发生了？我知道2008年的那次事件，没想到不幸又发生了。”

不过同样经历过两次奥运决赛大起大落的马修-埃蒙斯还是用自己对奥运的理解鼓励刘翔。“从我个人的经验而言，无论在奥运会发生了什么都不会决定你怎样。我知道他是世界上最好的跨栏选手之一，他是世界上最好的选手，这是毫无疑问的。一切都还有明天，即使奥运会上不会有很多挫折，还有很多其他的事情。你的体育生涯只是你人生很短暂的一部分，对于很多选手而言，你的体育生涯也就会维持到30岁。而你的生命还有更长的时间，体育只是其中很小的一部分。生活是美好的，奥运的结果不会改变这一切。”马修-埃蒙斯说。

他的妻子卡特琳娜-埃蒙斯也曾经在奥运会上赢得一枚金牌、一枚银牌和一枚铜牌。但是本届奥运会上她只在自己的强项上位列第四。她与马修之前的奥运故事一直被人传诵。对于刘翔的境遇，卡特琳娜说，“刘翔无疑是一个伟大的选手，奥运会只是四年一次的比赛，不是只有这一个比赛。这只是其中的一个比赛，你的生命中还会有各种各样的比赛和挑战。”

这对射击金牌夫妇还用乔丹的话鼓励刘翔。“迈克尔-乔丹曾经说，‘在我的职业生涯中，我曾经错失过2万个投篮机会；而我也曾经因为错过很多次最后一投而让队伍无法获胜，但是所有的这些只会让我更强大，为下一次挑战准备得更好
