Bermuda travelled to Atlanta for the 1996 Olympic Games with a team of ten athletes, including three from track and field.
The official Olympic site notes: “The 1996 Games were given a dramatic and emotional start when the cauldron was lit by sporting legend Muhammad Ali. Next to the site of the main competition venues was an open area known as the Centennial Olympic Park. The park appeared to be part of the Games, but was not actually a part of the Olympic security system. In the early hours of 27 July, tragedy struck when a terrorist bomb exploded in the Centennial Olympic Park, resulting in the death of two people and the injury of 110 more.
“For the first time in Olympic history, all 197 recognised National Olympic Committees were represented at the Games. Beach volleyball, mountain biking, lightweight rowing and women’s football made their first appearance and sailor Hubert Raudaschl [AUT] became the first person ever to compete in nine Olympic Games. Before he began his streak in 1964, he was a reserve in 1960.”
