	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.
