Athletics career
Baulch made his GB & NI debut at a Junior International in Salamanca, Spain, in 1991, winning the 200m and setting a new record in that field. Baulch then switched to a 400-meter specialist, which made him a distance specialist. Baulch excelled at running the distance indoors (where races are often run on 200m tracks rather than on outdoor tracks that are 400 meters long). In 1999, he won the 400m gold medal at the World Indoor Championships, while simultaneously earning silver and bronze medals at the competition in 1997 and 2003.
In 1993, Baulch ran a Welsh record 46.50 at Sheffield in his first individual run at the distance since 1990, and he set a new record in 1995 as he improved to 45.14.
Baulch's second leg for the British Olympic medal team in 1996 set a European record, but he set his fifth Welsh record of 44.57.
Baulch was a member of the British 4 400 m relay team, which came in second place in the 1997 World Championships. However, it was announced on January 7, 2010 that the British team would be awarded the gold medal after being defeated by a United States squad that included Antonio Pettigrew, who later confessed to taking performance-enhancing drugs, effectively disqualifying the US team. Baulch won his World Championship gold medal in May 2010 and said, "It would have been great to be in front of 80,000 people up on the rostrum...nothing can replace that." Unfortunately, this is only the second best record, but it's nice to be acknowledged."
He set Welsh indoor records at 46.36 and 46.13 before smashing Todd Bennett's 12-year-old UK and Commonwealth indoor record of 45.39 with 45.39 at the UK Trials and then winning the World Indoor Championship in 1997 (Nigeria). Later in the season, he made the World finals outdoors with a season-best 44.69 and a 44.08 third leg on the British silver-medal relay team.
He won all of his five competitions at 400 meters in 1999, including winning the gold medal at the World Indoor Championships in Maebashi, Japan, and running a personal record of 45.60 in Birmingham.
He had a best of 44.82 in Lausanne, which he followed with a landslide victory at the AAAs in 45.36. He had four individual runs in the low-45s, making the final, and he ran a 44.24 anchor leg for the British team that lost in the heats of the 4 400 meters at the World Championships.
Baulch won over 400 meters at the European Cup in 2000 and had a season-best of 45.06 but had a disappointing Olympic Games, losing in the heats of the 400m in 46.52, despite a final leg of 44.65 to guarantee that Britain qualified to the final of the relay.
Baulch was selected captain of the British team at the 2001 World Indoors but he was forced to miss out on summer due to a season-best record of 46.01 and a disappointing third leg of 44.5 for the Welsh team in the Commonwealth Games in a competition against England.
He returned to form in 2003 with two bronze medals at the World Indoors and in relay, with Paul McKee and a bronze medal. At the European Cup, he had a good third leg, but he had a disappointing outdoor season, with a record of 46.43.
Baulch has left coach Linford Christie in the hopes of resurrecting his athletics career, heading to Atlanta with Innocent Egbunike of Nigeria, a 4 meter bronze medalist at the 1984 Olympics and a silver medalist in the individual 400m at the world championships in 1987.
