520 _aAtlanta 1996 marks the centenary of the modern Olympic Games. Featuring more than 750 spectacular photographs by top sports journalists, Chronicle of the Olympics brings to life every Summer and Winter Olympic Games since Athens 1896. Witness the triumphs and the disappointments - Jesse Owens's four gold medal wins at the 1936 Berlin Games; Mark Spitz winning seven golds at the 1972 Munich Games; Ben Johnson being stripped of his 100-meter gold at the 1988 Seoul Games. Relive the sensational atmosphere of the 1984 Los Angeles Games, and recall the drama of the controversial clenched-fist salutes of the American "Black Power" athletes of the 1968 Mexico Games. Entertaining and nostalgic, Chronicle of the Olympics also features a comprehensive appendix listing all the competitive events and medalists since the beginning of the Games, making it an invaluable reference source.
