What are your favourite moments in the history of the Summer Olympics? The earliest games I can remember were the '96 Games in Atlanta. I still remember Donovan Bailey's performance in both the 100 m. sprint and 400 m. relay. It was awesome watching his emotion after the wins and, honestly, it couldn't have happened to a better guy. The fact that he broke the then world record with the win was amazing. Bailey remained one of my favourite athletes for years after those Games and it was just a shame he couldn't get over the achilles tendon injury. 100 m. sprint: <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pWtzCqExoHg&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pWtzCqExoHg&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div> 4x100 m. relay: <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bqHzkT12IEw&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bqHzkT12IEw&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div> Another memory I have wasn't really part of the Olympics, but was great nonetheless. After setting the 100 m. record, Michael Johnson (the 200 m. champ) and a bunch of talking heads starting acting like asses and disputing the title of "World's fastest man." They talked a whole bunch of shit and eventually Bailey ended up giving in to it, with a 150 m. race between the two being set up in the Skydome. Donovan would've beat him nicely, but Johnson pussed out and faked an injury when he was about to be overtaken. He denied Bailey the glory he deserved, but everyone knew who owned who. <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sryuicuQyR0&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sryuicuQyR0&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

Mine was either Kelly Holmes' double. Or The 100m Mens relay final.
