Several cities claimed to host the 1996 Olympic Games: Athens, Belgrade, Manchester, Melbourne, Toronto and Atlanta. The favorites, of course, were Athens - the 100th anniversary of the first Olympics was planned and they wanted to hold it in Greece. But members of the Atlanta Bid Committee were able to convince the IOC of the excellent and highest preparedness of the city for the Summer Games. As a result, on September 18, 1990, at the 96th session of the IOC, Atlanta was declared the capital of the 1996 Summer Olympics.

1996 Summer Olympics mascot in Atlanta

They decided to generate it on a computer. As a result, the creature came out strange: barefoot without a nose and mouth. The designers tried to give Izzy a more attractive look: a big mouth, a tail studded with Olympic rings, funny boots and white gloves. Then we added the eyes of a sparkle-star. The creature's name Izzy is short for Whatisit? ("What it is?"). He is considered one of the worst mascots of the Olympics.

Opening of the 1996 Olympics

The ceremony took place on July 19, 1996 at the Olympic Stadium in Atlanta. The broadcast was carried out by 170 TV companies, and was watched by about 3.5 billion viewers. The main themes of the performance were the history of Atlanta and the American South, as well as the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Movement.

The parade was attended by 10,700 athletes from 197 participating countries. The Russian Flag was carried at the ceremony by wrestler Alexander Karelin, who later won his third Olympic gold medal in Atlanta.

Following a speech by IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch and Games Organizing Committee President Billy Payne, US President Bill Clinton declared the 1996 Olympics open. The Olympic flag was raised and the Fire was lit, the torch was brought by swimmer Janet Evans and boxer Evander Holyfield, and lit by former boxer Mohammed Ali.

The culmination was the Power of Dreams performed by the famous singer Celine Dion, followed by colorful fireworks.

Russia at the 1996 Olympics

The Russian national team at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta for the first time performed as a separate country. According to the results of the medal standings of the 1996 Olympics, the Russian team won the second place after the US team. The Russians received 63 medals: 26 gold, 21 silver and 16 bronze.

Most of the winners were among swimmers, wrestlers, fencers and athletes. Swimmer Alexander Popov was able to win 4 medals: 2 gold and 2 silver, and became a four-time Olympic champion.

Criticism of the organization of the 1996 Olympics

Sportsmen, journalists and officials were very dissatisfied with the organization of the Games. There are many traffic problems, numerous failures in the work of information systems, unpreparedness of volunteers, too strong commercialization of the Atlanta Olympics.

But the most serious incident was the explosion in the Olympic Park on July 27 at night, during which 2 people died during the mass celebrations, 111 people were injured of varying severity. After many reassurances from the organizers to strengthen security measures, the 1996 Summer Olympics decided to continue.

The offender was arrested only a year later after several more terrorist attacks and given four life sentences with the deprivation of the right to be released early.

Closing of the 1996 Summer Olympics

At the ceremony, Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the IOC, for the first and last time did not say the phrase "These Games were the best in history."

The closing ceremony took place at the Olympic Stadium on August 4 and was attended by over 85 thousand people. Many American musicians took part in it. At the ceremony, the last Summer Olympics awards were presented to the winners in the men's marathon.

The final parade showed Olympic unity - all athletes walked together without division by country.

In his speech, Juan Antonio Samaranch called to remember the victims of the explosion in the Atlanta park and the Israeli athletes who died in Munich in 1972.

The Olympic flag was lowered, and the banner was handed the measure of Sydney, the capital of the next Games. It all ended with a magnificent fireworks display.

Doping scandal at the 1996 Games

On July 28, representatives of the IOC announced that tests of Russian athletes: swimmer Andrey Korneev, cyclist Rita Razmayte and wrestler Zafar Guliyeva tested positive for the prohibited drug bromantane.

Then they found bromantane: at the swimmer Nina Zhivanevskaya on July 30, at the runner Marina Trandenkova on August 1. All the athletes caught were disqualified and the won medals were taken away. But after the arbitration court in Lausanne, when they found out that the drug was banned during the Games, but not blacklisted, the athletes' results were restored and the medals returned.
