IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch declared at the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games,"I am proud and happy to proclaim that you have presented to the world the best Olympic Games ever."

Subsequent Summer Olympics held in Athens and Beijing have been described by Samaranch's successor, Jacques Rogge, as "unforgettable, dream Games" and "truly exceptional" respectively - the practice of declaring games the "best ever" having been retired after the 2000 games.

Well, they were born that way. But rowers who are built tall with long limbs have a physiological advantage because long limbs mean they have a better reach and longer stroke.

Wilson Kipketer, a Kenyan who was living in Denmark, was considered the favorite in the time leading up to the 1996 Games. But Kipketer was not a full citizen of Denmark and the Kenyan Olympic Committee protested his participation. The International Olympic Committee agreed and Kipketer was not allowed to compete at the 1996 Games.

Athletes from Kenya had won the previous 2 Olympic men's 800 meter events and were expected to be the favorites in the competition.

Vebjørn Rodal of Norway had never won an international event and was not considered to be a medal contender. But he won the gold medal in a time of 1:42.58 which is still an Olympic record. Four of the runners (Rodal, Hezekial Sepeng of South Africa, Fred Onyancha of Kenya, and Norberto Téllez of Cuba) finished the race in under 1:43 in what was one of the most exciting races of the 1996 Games. The time difference between 1st place and 4th place was .27 seconds.

The Olympic gold medal was Rodal's only international victory of his career.

After the atrocity was committed, the Games were suspended for a day but then resumed. International Olympic Committee President Avery Brundage and several other high ranking officials believed that the Games could not allow terrorists to halt them and ordered the Games to continue. This action was endorsed by the Israeli government and Olympic team.

Several countries withdrew their athletes after the attack. The Israeli team and many Jewish athletes from other countries left for fear of another attack. The team from Egypt left for fear of retaliation. The teams from Algeria and Philippines also left.

It is hard to argue against either thought ... allowing the Games to be stopped due to the heinous acts of some or allowing the Games to continue after such an act was committed. Regardless, the final days of the 1972 Summer Olympics were competed by athletes whose minds and hearts were not fixated on the events that they had trained years for. The Olympic dream turned into a nightmare thanks to those bent on destruction.
