    SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS

    Thank you Ato for being an inspiration to Trinidad's youth. I think you are doing a magnificent job. You are a world class sprinter and athlete and you keep your focus on your goals. - Stacey

    DID YOU KNOW?

    Ato has history's 6 best 1-day doubles at 100/200m.

    GOT SPEED?

    Who is Ato Boldon?

    Ato is a former world champion, 4-time World Championships medalist and a 4-time Olympic medalist, and was one of the world's fastest humans, for seven consecutive years.  No other male sprinter EVER has won more Olympic individual sprint medals in a career.

    That is where his similarity to other athletes ends. 

    No others have also been lauded by Emmy-award winning tech-evangelist Leo Laporte as "the world's fastest geek" while giving computer/website design advice to millions on G4TECH TV's Call for Help, and can then later being found using their private pilot's license 12,000 feet above the ground, flying somewhere through the California or Florida skies.

    Ato has shared motivational-speaking stages with legends such as Les Brown and Ret. Gen. Colin Powell in his 16-year career, and continues to do corporate motivational speaking worldwide.

    In 2005, he served as the key speaker in a highly successful year-long effort in Trinidad called MAKING A DIFFERENCE, aimed at motivating the youth of that country.

    In February of 2006, at age 32, Ato was appointed as a senator in Trinidad.

    Ato is now a fixture on television in the USA for major track and field events, having made his debut for CBS Sports television in 2005, NBC in 2007 and Fox Sports in 2008. 

    Ato was hailed as the new sport broadcast star for NBC during NBC's Olympic Coverage of track and field in 2008 - the first Caribbean citizen ever to hold such a job on a U.S. network.

    We're glad you're here.

    Stay a while.

    There's lots to see, learn and do.
     

    Ato's 2008 Olympic Broadcast Reviews

    Boldon, 34, has emerged as one of NBC's best analysts, a blend of athletic smarts, (he won one silver and three bronze medals in the 100 and 200 meters at the 1996 and 2000 Games) charisma, precise analysis and brashness. 

    New York Times

    Favorite NBC announce team? That's easy: Tom Hammond, Ato Boldon and Lewis Johnson at track and field. Hammond is a pro's pro whose voice and delivery never change regardless who is winning or losing. Boldon never once tried to make an excuse for the disappointing U.S. track team.  

    Dallas Morning News

    Track analyst Ato Boldon has become a real star for NBC with his enthusiasm, knowledge and colorful style, which lights up the TV screen.  In his first Olympic assignment, Boldon and his partner Tom Hammond have done a brilliant job of not missing a single detail of the track and field coverage. Boldon, who is a four-time Olympic medalist for Trinidad and Tobago, is entertaining in his analysis. 

    The Sports Business Journal

    NBC commentator and four-time Olympic sprint medalist Ato Boldon was outspoken, as usual, in analyzing the 100 meters.  Asked if Tyson Gay's hamstring, injured at the Olympic trials, would hold up for four rounds, Boldon said bluntly, "No."

    Los Angeles Times

    The reason Boldon is a star at NBC is the passion for the sport that he brings to his broadcasting. His Caribbean/British accent, his colorful descriptions of the races and the competitors make him entertaining. His insights on the sport add to a long list of reasons to watch him and his partner Hammond cover the track events.  Bottom line, Boldon makes watching the track events fun, which is more than NBC could ask for from their first-time analyst.

    The Sports Business Journal

    "I quote Ato so often that I feel like he should have a co-byline on some of my stories, but he's just that good."

    Tim Layden, Sports Illustrated

    Ato Boldon did make sense when he said about Usain Bolt's world record time of 9.69: "The 100 meters is run in a straight line, but he just turned the corner, and the line starts behind him."  

    Dallas Morning News

    Is there a better track analyst than Ato Boldon? 

    Los Angeles Times

    Ato Boldon, the ex-sprinter from Trinidad and Tobago who made his NBC Olympic debut, came through. He was insightful and didn't pull punches, such as saying the U.S. team "underperformed, the likes of which we have never seen from a U.S. track and field team."
