Abstract: Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature $gen-1$. In cite{colding1, colding2}, Tobias Colding, by developing some new techniques, proved that the following three condtions: 1) $d_{GH}(M,S^n)o0$; 2) the volume of $M$ $extVol(M)oextVol(S^n)$; 3) the radius of $M$ $extrad(M)opi$ are equivalent. In cite{peter}, Peter Petersen, by developing a different technique, gave the 4-th equivalent condition, namely he proved that the $n+1$-th eigenvalue of $M$ $lambd{a}_{n+1}(M)on$ is also equivalent to the radius of $M$ $extrad(M)opi$, and hence the other two. In this note, we give a new proof of Petersen's theorem by utilizing Colding's techniques.
