Dominic Carroll (born 15 November 1983, Amsterdam) is a Gibraltarian track athlete.[1]
Notable achievements include medals at the Youth Centennial Games (organised by the International Olympic Committee to celebrate its centenary), and four medals at three Island Games. He has also competed in a number of World and European championships. In 2010 prior to the European Athletics Championships he was hailed as the "True Spirit of Barcelona 2010" and picked out as one to watch during the competition, unfortunately he was disqualified due to a false start and could not compete after falling victim to the IAAFs new one chance ruling when it came to false starts. He is currently training towards competing in the 400m event but has competed over various distances in the past.
