One of the best male sprinters ever.

ATO BOLDON

Ato is one of the best male sprint performers in the world with 4 Olympic sprint medals to his name. He was in the controversial World Championships semi-final in 2003 where Jon Drummond made his epic "i did not move" protest.

He has been a hero of mine since Atlanta 1996 where he got two bronze medals in both the 100m and 200m. then backing it up at the World Champs the following year taking out Gold in the 200m. The 2000 Sydney Olympics rolled around and he finished 2nd behind Mo Greene before adding another Olympic Bronze to his collection in the 200m.

Last night, i had the great privilege and once in a lifetime opportunity to have a training session with the man himself.

He gave me a one on one training session in the blocks. taught me all the tricks of the trade. Shared experiences. Renewed Confidence. He is an amazing person. One of the nicest blokes ever as well. i will remember and cherish that moment for the rest of my life.

and the skills i developed last night will provide me with a bright future.

He truly is one of the best athletes ever.
