	1996 Summer Olympics - Sidebar - MSN Encarta
		The Summer Games, which were held in Atlanta, Georgia, over a 17-day period in late July and early August, produced courageous and record-setting performances by the athletes but were also struck by terrorism that killed one person and left more than 100 injured.
		Canada's 0.36-second victory was sealed by 1996 Olympic 100-meters champion and world record holder Donovan Bailey, who crushed U.S. anchorman Dennis Mitchell and the rest of the field to mark the first time the U.S. relay team was beaten head-to-head in the event.
		The biggest track star at the Olympics was undoubtedly U.S. sprinter Michael Johnson, who became the first man ever to win both the 200-meter and 400-meter races in the same Olympics, setting a dramatic world record in the 200 meters in the process.

	Images - Finding the Pulse of Athletic Human Drama
		That’s the draw of the Olympics: an underdog team’s victory, the emergence of a new star athlete, a record-shattering performance, the pageantry of international processionals.
		Olympic athletes are easily idealized as mythic competitors possessing agility, power, endurance, and humanity; the ingredients for any successful melodrama.
		The last decade of the Cold War almost completely undermined the Olympic myth, though, as America skipped the 1980 Moscow Olympics (to penalize the Soviets for invading Afghanistan) and the Soviets snubbed the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics in a tit-for-tat boycott.

	S Zebulon Baker, Whatwuzit?: The 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics Reconsidered
		If International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch's address to the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games is remembered at all, it is for his unwillingness to bestow Atlanta's Games with the honor of "the greatest in Olympic history" - that coveted rhetorical flourish lauding the host city's organizing efforts.
		Unbridled commercialism, poor and unreliable public transportation, a deadly terrorist attack on Centennial Olympic Park: such significant failures shaped Samaranch's verdict that these Olympic Games were "most exceptional," but not "the greatest." His speech, however, gestured toward Atlanta's emerging place on the world stage.
		After all, the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games were an ephemeral moment as much as a transformative mark on the city's landscape: a moment when Atlanta would claim its place on the international stage.
