BOULDER WAVE was founded in Boulder, Colorado, USA in November 1993 to support the efforts of elite athletes coming to Boulder for high-altitude training. As the athletes who hired us performed better and better – Yuko Arimori’s marathon bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and her teammate Hiromi Suzuki’s marathon gold medal at the 1997 Athens World Championships were the breakthroughs – we expanded into athlete representation and management. Now in our 18th year, we continue to provide both training and management support at the very highest levels.
The numbers bear out our success: In the eleven Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships held from 1996 through 2010, athletes either supported or represented by Boulder Wave won 10 of the 33 medals awarded in the women’s marathon. This is a 30 percent success ratio matched by no other organization in the world. From our first day our slogan has been, “In training to be world class,” reflecting our primary goal of bringing athletes to the highest levels of world-class competition.
