Twenty-nine years ago today, on August 4, 1996 (June 20, 1996 lunar calendar), the 26th Olympic Games came to an end. Olympic athletes on the field On July 19, 1996, the 26th Olympic Games was grandly opened in Atlanta, USA, and 197 members of the world Olympic family finally achieved a big reunion on the occasion of their centennial. A total of 409 world records, intercontinental records and national records were broken at this Games, including 23 world records, making it the largest, highest level and most competitive sports event. However, due to the chaos of organization and traffic control during the Olympic Games, poor communication, the explosion of the Olympic Memorial Circle, and the crash of a civilian plane in the United States before the competition, many other reasons have cast a heavy shadow on the otherwise bright and splendid Olympic flame. In the men's 100-meter running final where the stars gathered, Canada's Bailey set a world record of 9.84 seconds that even he himself could not believe. After winning the gold medal in the 400-meter race, Michael Johnson of the United States rewrote the 200-meter world record with a time of 19.32 seconds, becoming the first person in Olympic history to win both championships at the same time. It is not a mistake for the International Olympic Committee to modify the competition schedule for him. The victories of Bailey and Johnson also led to a debate about "who is the fastest person in the world", so the two gave an account to the world with the slightly helpless 150m battle on June 1. In the women's 100m final, Devers of the United States and Oti of Jamaica both finished 10.94 seconds. The IAAF arbitration panel ruled that Devers' body part reached the finish five thousandths of a second earlier than Oti based on the photo of the sprint at the finish. Devers once again became the Olympic female trapeze, and Oti once again became the "eternal runner-up". Wang Junxia, the "Oriental Deer God", won China's first track and field gold medal in the women's 5000m final, which was also the first women's 5000m gold medal in Olympic history. In the subsequent 10,000-meter race, she added another silver medal to the Chinese team. Weightlifting competitions have reached a climax, with 15 world records created in 10 categories, making it the most world record-breaking event in this Olympic Games. The weightlifting prodigy of the year, Suleimanor of Turkey, has shown his power again in ancient and modern times. He won the Olympic championship for the third time (in a row) and set a new world record in the 64-kg class. In his 18-year weightlifting career, he won a total of 22 world championships, becoming a hero in the history of weightlifting. In gymnastics, the Russian team won the men's team championship with a total score of 576.778. This is the fourth time that gymnastics magnate Alkov has led his team to the Olympic team championship, including two Olympic titles in Moscow and Seoul as the coach of the former Soviet Union, and the third time he led the CIS team to the gold medal in Barcelona. Li Xiaoshuang of China narrowly defeated Russia's Nemov by 0.058 points to defend the throne of the "all-powerful king", becoming the second athlete to win the World Championship (1995) and the Olympic Games in a row. China's Fu Mingxia won another gold medal in the women's springboard diving final, becoming the first female athlete in 36 years to win two gold medals in diving at the Olympic Games. Russia's Saudin won the gold medal in men's platform diving. Three years ago, he was stabbed multiple times by a gang of hooligans and was saved from death by doctors with full rescue. In the first one and a half years of training, he felt unbearable pain every time he entered the water. This Olympic gold medal is hard-won for Saudin after defeating death and conquering himself. At this Olympic Games, our country sent a total of 309 athletes to participate in 22 events, and achieved excellent results of 16 gold, 22 silver, 12 bronze, and breaking 4 world records. From Liu Changchun's lonely figure to Atlanta's brilliant record, the footprints of the descendants of Yanhuang are deeply engraved on the Olympic road.
