Carrying the torch
In the summer of 1996, the Atlanta sky was lit by the Olympic Torch. Muhammad Ali was the official torch lighter at a Games that saw Donovan Bailey set a new 100m dash world-record, Kerri Strug land on a severally damaged ankle, Andre Agassi win the career Golden Slam, and Michael Johnson win two gold medals. Built specifically for the 1996 Olympics, Turner Field, then known as Centennial Olympic Stadium, housed two of these amazing feats. These Olympic memories were witnessed by more than 80,000 fans in this monumental stadium. Then owner of the Braves Ted Turner made a deal with the Olympic committee to build the stadium to house the Olympic track and field competition, and then convert the stadium for his team, the Atlanta Braves.
