Hey Ato, boy "doh worry wid dem haters dem," that trying to imply u was in thing wid Balco Even if u wrote the letter , distancing yourself from ppl who may tend to carry u down with dem is a natural human response and is not evidence of foul play. Some ppl still can't handle the fact that a youth frm a small, lil island T&T could make it so big on the world stage and continue being extremely successfull after retirement. Don't let anybody break your stride! I believing u'll come out of this even more respected than u b4. Keep your trust in God. Bless MJ(M)

Hello! Just discovered your website. More athletes should do something great like that!
I remember some years ago, in front of the TV, my parents telling my brother you were about to eat him when you opened wide your mouth! That was great!
Keep your smile! Pleased to meet you.

I wish you wouldn't mix your politics with your commentary. OBAMA? WHAT A JOKE HE IS. I HAD ALOT MORE RESPECT AND LISTENED TO YOU BEFORE YOU PUSHED YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS BY POSTING A PICTURE OF OBAMA ON YOUR WEB SITE. WHY NOT A PICTURE OR OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT AS WELL? MJ
|
|
Ato:
|
You must have lost your mind. Me putting OBAMA ON MY DAMN site is PUSHING my political views on you? Does it say VOTE OBAMA anywhere? Here's the fix. Don't return, then. If you "had respect for me before I endorsed Obama" then you can keep your respect. |

I am an indigenous Australian. I've followed you and your career since 1988. You were then and are still now to me...the most sexiest sprinter there ever was. Imagine...your heart beating a thousand miles...you are screaming inside and your body is just melting away as your eyes fill with water...like waves washing up up to the sand on the beach. No I am not a sick fan...actually a very successful educated business woman who is now 33 years old and still feel'n you. Wow...what a fantasy...I don't know why I am emailing you...I've never done anything like this before...you will forever live in my fantasy. I just wanted you to know. Lord...forgive my for lusting over this man..... Peace!

|
|
Ato:
|
Where to start? The 2 or 3 meets every weekend for most of the season? The acknowledgement of track as the #1 sport? The corporate love for track? Fan support? Best high school competitions on earth? |

Ato, Romany, the president of TTOC is complaining that track coaches at the US colleges are burning out the T&T ATHLETES in too many meets and when its time to run for the country they are no good. He wants to talk to the coaches to cut back on the meets. Is this man in touch with the system, if he doesn't understand he needs to get out of athletics.
|
|
Ato:

Amazing how athletes from Jamaica and other islands don't get burnt out and win medals after collegiate seasons, isn't it? I got 2 Olympic medals myself after a full NCAA season in 1996. |

Hello Mr Ato. I am a great fan of you and Maurice Greene. However, I am dissappointed with Mo. I realized that he is not as great athlete as I thought he is. And I don't mean that I expected more wins or more effort. I only mean that I expected a different attitude towards track and field and towards his own self. You are a special person and one of the people I admired since I was a child. God bless both of you!

I'd consider it. The national team comprises members who all train in different countries with their own personal coaches so it's really just a title, a few months b4 the Olympics. |

Ato, what's up for Trinidad at the 2008 games. Thompson is the male track athlete of the year. I still think Brown could show up big. The 4 x100m team need to start working very early using theit best six sprinters. Someone like you who live track and love your country need to have some input there.
|
|
Ato:
|
Not me, I gave my input and suggestions a long time ago, often. They know more than I do, clearly, so let's see how they rack up those medals this year. |

Ato at the time when you start running was a very short time before you made it world class. Would you call yourself a gifted athlete who went on to work hard to make big things happen?
|
|
Ato:
|
All are gifted who make it to that level. I was also extremely obsessive about the 100m. The technique everyone uses now was born out of my coach and I watching tape and trying to find a better way to run. I was no stranger to work, too, I welcomed it. |

Ato got to tell you that you came along in a time when t&t needed help in track. Looking back 1976 was HC, 1980 coombs and solomon was in the 400m final, 1988 ian morris in 400m final, 1992 ian morris again. You came in the right time and put some life in the sport, everyone in the country and the west indies was into track at your time. Do the same with NBC we will be watching.

|

Ato:

Like many, I thought it would never end - but it always does, and you have to prepare (career-wise) by starting another career before your athletic career ends...I did my first broadcast in 1999 - the middle of my career, not after it was already over. |

"CRYING OUT? Hardly." Hi Ato! I haven't visited your site for a while as I’m busy completing my Master however, I see you are still cheeky. I love your sprit, and love your style, but sometimes you even get me saying "Stuppss! Why Ato mouth so boy!? Why Ato so raw?! This man does not think about people feeling", but at the end of the day, you make me laugh and even I cannot deny you are the real deal and thank goodness you can't be anyone but you. My point is... GOD BLESS AND YOU GO BOY, YOU GO and thanks for keeping it real.

Hey Ato you are truly one of the best sprinters of our time. Can't wait for the 08 olympics, and the rematch with Campbell and Felix. Campbell is known for turning the tables, we saw what she did in Osaka.
|

Ato:
|
Now that Allyson is a 400m runner, she is unbeatable at 200m but VC is a good bet for 100 gold. The surest medal in Beijing is Allyson Felix at 200m. Bet your house on that. |
