'''Dominic Carroll''' (born 15 November 1983, [[Amsterdam]]) is a retired [[Gibraltarian people|Gibraltarian]] [[track and field athletics|track athlete]].<ref>{{cite web | title= Athletes: Biographies: Carroll Dominic GIB| url= http://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/letter=c/athcode=170748/index.html| work= IAAF.org| publisher= [[International Association of Athletics Federations]]| date= c. 2009| accessdate=2009-05-29}}</ref>

Notable achievements include medals at the [[Youth Centennial Games]] (organised by the [[International Olympic Committee]] to celebrate its [[centenary]]), and four medals at three [[International Island Games Association|Island Games]]. He has also competed in a number of [[IAAF World Championships in Athletics|World]] and [[European Athletics Championships|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; however, 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. During the years spanning 2005 to 2008 he was part of an elite training squad based in Cardiff which included Welsh athletes Dai Greene and Gareth Warburton, and English athlete Richard Hill, he was deemed to have the potential to match the performance levels of his fellow athletes but a series of injuries hampered his development.
