From Olympian, to Coach, to Pilot, to Senator and now accomplished Emmy winning broadcaster, we couldn’t be prouder of Ato Boldon. Definitely a man of many seasons and an inspiration for us, Fatima College and Trinidad and Tobago.
Interview with Ato Boldon (2015 Fatima Hall of Achievement Inductee) | Fatima Old Boys Association
T&T’s most decorated Olympian Ato Boldon added U.S. broadcasting’s highest honour to his resumé, winning a Sports Emmy for NBC’s coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The occasion was the 2025 Sports Emmy Awards, held at Lincoln Center in New York City on May 20.
Boldon was part of the NBC Universal broadcast team that won 13 Sports Emmy Awards, 10 of which were for their 2024 Paris Olympic Games coverage.
Boldon, 52, was also individually nominated for Outstanding Sports Personality in the Sports Event Analyst category, making it his second nomination following his first in 2013.
He remains the only track and field commentator ever to be nominated in that category. Although he didn’t win, his role as NBC’s lead analyst for athletics was instrumental to the network’s overall success.
Before becoming a respected broadcaster, Boldon had a legendary track and field career. He won four Olympic medals for Trinidad and Tobago: two bronze medals in the 100m and 200m at the 1996 Atlanta Games and a silver in the 100m and a bronze in the 200m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. These achievements make him the most successful Olympic athletes in T&T’s history.
