He is a two-time Olympic silver medalist in the 110-meter hurdles and three-time World Championships silver medalist in the same event. In addition, Trammell won the World Indoor Championships I the 60H twice (2001, 2006), and he finished second in the event at the same meet in 2010. Furthermore, Trammell earned a bronze medal in the 60 meters at the 2006 World Indoor Championships.
