Mike's Story

MIKE MORAN In stadiums around the world, from Lake Placid to Athens, Mike Moran was witness to some of the most iconic moments of 14 Olympic Games from 1980 to 2004 — from the highs to the lows. There was the “Miracle on Ice” when the U.S. hockey team upset the Soviets in Lake Placid, perhaps the pinnacle of American Olympic achievement. Then there was the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan Affair, “One of the lowest Olympic experiences I’ve ever had,” Moran once said. The 1960 Westside graduate watched it all — and sometimes managed it — as chief spokesman for the United States Olympic Committee from 1978- 2003. His Olympic posts came after time as sports information director at UNO, then the University of Colorado. He’s still active in the field, today as senior media consultant for the Colorado Springs Sports Corporation. Mike Moran is enjoying his 50th year in the sports media and public relations field, now in his 12th year as a professional consultant, continuing a career that has earned him the respect of reporters and broadcasters across the United States and internationally.

From February 1, 2003 until August 1, 2005, Moran served as the Senior Communications Counselor for NYC2012, the organization that led the bid by New York City to host the 2012 Olympic Games. In his role with the bid committee, he served as spokesman, media and public relations strategist, and coordinator of media programs and national outreach. London won the right to host the 2012 Games on July 6, 2005, and Moran returned to Colorado Springs. Moran served as Senior Media Consultant to the United States Olympic Committee through 2004 after retiring on January 31, 2003, as Chief Communications Officer and the USOC’s principal spokesman for nearly 25 years.
