The 1996 Summer Olympics were held in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the centennial of the modern Olympic movement since the 1896 Athens Games. The Games were marred by a bombing at Centennial Olympic Park that killed two people and injured over a hundred others. Considerable criticism was also directed at the heavy commercialization of the Atlanta Games, though the event drew record numbers of participating nations and athletes at the time.
