Over the course of his distinguished 40-year plus career, Don Wittman has covered just about every sport.

A resident of Winnipeg since 1961, Wittman is a two-time ACTRA award winner and has been inducted into the Canadian Football League's Hall of Fame as well as Manitoba's provincial Hall of Fame.

At the 2003 Pan Am Games, 'Witt' covered Athletics, Baseball and Basketball. At the 2002 Commonwealth Games, Wittman once again teamed up with Geoff Gowan to cover the athletics action. At the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Wittman was the curling voice for the network.

At the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, Wittman covered all the action from the track. In 1999, he was the athletics commentator at World Track and Field Championships in Seville, Spain, the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg and the Commonwealth Games in Malaysia in 1998. He was also the curling commentator for CBC Sports' coverage of the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano.

A veteran of 12 Olympic broadcasts (five winter and seven summer), the 1964 Winter Games in Innsbruck were Wittman's first. It seems that every event he covers enjoys great success, including The CFL ON CBC, championship curling since 1961, Canadian Open Golf (1961-1988) and CBC's Hockey Night in Canada beginning in 1979.

He has covered the past seven IAAF World Track and Field Championships, including the most recent in Paris, France, in August 2003. He has also covered several World Cup Championships, numerous Canadian Championships, eight Commonwealth Games, four World Indoor Championships and three Pan Am Games.

At the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, he called the most-watched races of the Olympics - Donovan Bailey's 9.84 seconds record-breaking 100m and the Canadian men's 4 x 100m relay - both gold medal winners.

Wittman was born in Herbert, Saskatchewan, and attended the University of Saskatchewan. He began his broadcasting career as a radio news reporter in 1955 at CFCQ in Saskatoon. He worked for CJNB in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, before returning to Saskatoon and CFCQ.

Wittman and his wife of 35 years, Judy, have two daughters - Karen and Kristen - who are both lawyers and a son, David, who is studying architecture.
