Ato Boldon lurks on Letsrun.com

Didn't he used to post on the AOL track message boards back in the day?

He lurked on the track when he was a "pro" too.

Have no idea, says he likes track and field news message boards too.

Says he gets a lot of feedback on his broadcasting, so if you have feedback for him, post away here:

Good T&F announcer, nice guy, I emailed him and he responded....not full of himself like some of these goons.

Ato Boldon's a terrific commentator. He is very well-informed, engaging, well-spoken, and brings the excitement.

Well-informed? What's he doing on Letsrun?

Actually, I agree. Boldon and Hutchings are the best guys on NBC by far. They could get rid of everyone else, and I wouldn't care, although I like Lewis Johnson, despite his highly predictable questions. They need to put Tom Hammond out to pasture with all of the old racehorses.

Imagine that, a track and field commentator reads the most widely read and most important website about running? Like what are the chances?

Who care. Let the guy troll / post whatever he pleases.

TrackBot is going to revolutionize track and field commentary. Ato and crew can compare PRs, head-to-head competition record, equivalent performances.

Come clean about your drug use. Clean since 74 HAHAHA. HSI- Handling Steroids Intelligently. That was the big joke back in the day. I heard his crew talk about using at UCLA. Long story. but its true. I was there.

I think Ato B actually posts on the T&F News site.

Yeah UCLA had a lot of sprinters juicing over the years, not just the ones who got caught after they left.

Exactly and exactly correct. I also like Sanya. She is new and will be fine if those NBC people would stop talking in her ear... which is confusing her.

Ato.

If you are really reading this…Please make Tom Hammond (and also Craig Masback) stop it. I have heard Tom Hammond for like 6 Olympics now and I can't stand it any longer.

I am not kidding Ato. You with Tim Hutchings was great.

Tim Hutchings was also 4th in the 1984 Olympic 5k in a PR of 13:11.50.

Tom Hammond has PRs that are horrible if he even has any PRs.

Please talk to the NBC people and please end this intolerable situation.

Thank you Ato.
