I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Al Trautwig, a broadcasting legend whose voice became synonymous with some of the greatest moments in sports. His storytelling had a way of making every competition feel even more meaningful, drawing us into the drama, the triumphs, and the human spirit behind every athlete’s journey.

Al’s impact extended far beyond the microphone. His passion for sport was undeniable, and his ability to capture its essence—whether at the Olympics, the Tour de France, or Madison Square Garden—was a gift to fans around the world.

For those of us in the Olympic movement, his coverage brought the Games to life for millions, showcasing not just the victories, but the perseverance and dedication of athletes from all walks of life. He understood that sports are about more than just scores—they are about people, dreams, and moments that unite us all.

My thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working with or learning from him. Al Trautwig’s voice may be silent now, but his legacy will continue to echo through the stories he told and the inspiration he shared.

Rest in peace, Al. Thank you for bringing the world of sport closer to us all.

~ Anita
