At the 2006 World Indoor Championships in Moscow he finished second with a new personal best time (indoor) of 7.46 seconds, a time which he has since improved to 7.33, making him the second-fastest ever indoors, behind Colin Jackson. His current personal best time over 110 metres hurdles is 12.87 seconds (World Record, Ostrava, June 12th).
