| "这次不提案[1]，主要是去交流学习的......"2月28日晚，刘翔[2]表示他将于3月1日飞赴北京，参加两会[3]。 "去年的提案是经过精心准备的，今年因为太忙，没有时间准备，所以就不递交提案了......"2月28日晚，刘翔在接受采访时表示，两会讨论的都是国家大事，如果不事先精心准备，就没必要提出提案了。
师父孙海平表示，在过去的三个多月时间里，刘翔几乎没什么休息的时间，为了提高竞技水平，基本都在训练和比赛过程中，因此很难抽出时间去准备提案。在刘翔参加两会的情况下，对于他的训练依旧不会放松。他还表示，因为刘翔作为高水平运动员，所以不应该放松训练，只有这样，才能巩固此前的训练基础。
刘翔要到3月中旬才能飞回上海。孙海平表示，回到上海后，训练一段时间，会安排刘翔跟随上海田径[4]队飞赴日本参加一个比赛，然后再回到上海继续训练，准备5月份的两项比赛。
"This time I don't prepare a proposal, the main point is to exchange knowledge" - On the night of February 28th, Liu Xiang said that he will arrive at Beijing on March 1st and participate in the 'Two-Conferences' (meetings of the National People's Congress and of the Chinese People Political Consultative Congress). "Last year's draft has been painstakingly prepared, this year, because I'm too busy, I do not have time to prepare it, therefore I won't hand over a proposal". On the evening of February 28th, Liu Xiang said, when responding to interviews, that the discussions topic of the 'Two-Conferences' are all national affairs; If he doesn't prepare it painstakingly in advance, there is no necessity to pose a draft.
Liu Xiang's coach Sun Haiping said that during the last three months and more, Liu Xiang almost didn't have any resting time. In order to improve his athletic competitive level, he was basically always in the course of training or competitions, therefore it was difficult to find time to prepare a draft. In the situation of planning to attend the 'Two-Conferences', Liu Xiang still couldn't feel relaxed about his training. He also said that because Liu Xiang is regarded as a high level athlete, he shouldn't slacken his training. Only in this manner he could strengthen the past training foundation.
Liu Xiang will be able to fly back to Shanghai only during ten days in the middle of March. Sun Haiping said that after returning to Shanghai and practicing a period of time, he might arrange for Liu Xiang to go with Shanghai's track & field team to attend a competition in Japan, and afterwards return to Shanghai and continue to train, preparing for two competitions in May.
