Derrick Ralph Adkins ( born July 2 , 1970 ) is a former American track and field athlete who specialized in the 400-meter hurdles . He was an Olympic gold medalist in that event at the 1996 Summer Olympics and World Champion at the 1995 World Championships in Athletics . He was the fastest man in the world in the 1994 and 1996 seasons and holds a personal record of 47.54 seconds . Adkins was a two-time national champion at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships . A Georgia Institute of Technology alumnus , he won back-to-back gold medals at the Summer Universiade from 1991 to 1993 . He was also a gold medalist at the 1994 Goodwill Games and the 1996 IAAF Grand Prix Final . He represented the United States four times at the World Championships in Athletics , also reaching the final in 1991 and 1993 . Following his competitive retirement he remained connected with the sport and served as director of The Armory Track and Field Center between 2006 and 2011 .
Christopher Wesson Bosh ( born March 24 , 1984 ) is an American former professional basketball player . A Texas Mr. Basketball in high school , Bosh played one season of college basketball for Georgia Tech before declaring for the 2003 NBA draft . He was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors . While at Toronto , Bosh became a five-time NBA All-Star , was named to the All-NBA Second Team once , played for the U.S. national team ( with whom he won a gold medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics ) , and supplanted former fan favorite Vince Carter as the face and leader of the Raptors franchise . In the 2006-07 season , Bosh led the Raptors to their first playoff appearance in five years and their first-ever division title . Bosh was nicknamed CB4 by then-Toronto Raptors play-by-play commentator Chuck Swirsky , a combination of Bosh 's initials and then jersey number and a reference to the film of the same name . He left Toronto in 2010 as the franchise 's all-time leader in points , rebounds , blocks , and minutes played . In 2010 , after seven seasons with the Raptors , Bosh entered into a sign-and-trade deal whereby he was traded to the Miami Heat . In Miami , he joined fellow stars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James ; the trio became known as the Big Three . Bosh spent the second half of his career with Miami , appearing in the NBA Finals each year from 2011 to 2014 and winning NBA titles in 2012 and 2013 . He made the NBA All-Star team every year during his time in Miami . His career was cut short by a blood clotting condition that the NBA ruled to be a career-ending illness .
The Miami Heat are an American professional basketball team based in Miami . The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) as a member of the league 's Eastern Conference Southeast Division . The Heat play their home games at American Airlines Arena , and have won three NBA championships . The franchise began play in the 1988-89 NBA season as an expansion team . After a period of mediocrity , the Heat would gain relevance during the 1990s following the appointment of former head coach Pat Riley in the role of team president . Riley would construct the high-profile trades of Alonzo Mourning in 1995 , and of Tim Hardaway in 1996 , which immediately propelled the team into playoff contention . Mourning and Hardaway would eventually lead the Heat to four division titles , prior to their departures in 2001 and 2002 , respectively . As a result , the team struggled , and entered into a rebuild in time for the 2002-03 season . Led by Dwyane Wade , and following a trade for former NBA Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Shaquille O'Neal , Miami advanced to play in the NBA Finals in 2006 , where they clinched their first championship , led by Riley as head coach . After the departure of O'Neal two years later , the team entered into another period of decline for the remainder of the 2000s . This saw the resignation of Riley as head coach , who returned to his position as team president , and was replaced by Erik Spoelstra . In 2010 , after creating significant cap space , the Heat partnered Wade with former league MVP LeBron James , and perennial NBA All-Star Chris Bosh , creating the Big Three .
Eric M. Giddens ( born 8 May 1973 in Atlanta ) is an American slalom canoeist who competed from the early 1990s to the early 2000s .
Canoe slalom ( previously known as whitewater slalom ) is a competitive sport with the aim to navigate a decked canoe or kayak through a course of hanging downstream or upstream gates on river rapids in the fastest time possible . It is one of the two kayak and canoeing disciplines at the Summer Olympics , and is referred to by the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) as Canoe/Kayak Slalom . The other Olympic canoeing discipline is canoe sprint . Wildwater canoeing is a non-Olympic paddlesport .
These are the results of the men 's K-1 slalom competition in canoeing at the 1996 Summer Olympics . The K-1 ( kayak single ) event is raced by one-man kayaks through a whitewater course . The venue for the 1996 Olympic competition was along the Toccoa/Ocoee River near the Georgia-Tennessee state line .
The 1996 Summer Olympics , officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad , commonly known as Atlanta 1996 , and also referred to as the Centennial Olympic Games , were an international multi-sport event that was held from July 19 to August 4 , 1996 , in Atlanta , Georgia , U.S . These Games , which were the fourth Summer Olympics to be hosted by the United States , marked the centennial of the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens - the inaugural edition of the modern Olympic Games . They were also the first since 1924 to be held in a different year from a Winter Olympics , under a new IOC practice implemented in 1994 to hold the Summer and Winter Games in alternating , even-numbered years . More than 10,000 athletes from 197 National Olympic Committees competed in 26 sports , including the Olympic debuts of beach volleyball , mountain biking , and softball , as well as the new disciplines of lightweight rowing and women 's football ( soccer ) . 24 countries made their Summer Olympic debut in Atlanta , including eleven former Soviet republics participating for the first time as independent nations . The hosting United States led the medal count with a total of 101 medals , and the most gold ( 44 ) and silver ( 32 ) medals out of all countries . The U.S. topped the medal count for the first time since 1984 , and for the first time since 1968 in a non-boycotted Summer Olympics . Notable performances during competition included those of Andre Agassi - who became the first men 's singles tennis player to combine a career Grand Slam with an Olympic gold medal , Donovan Bailey - who set a new world record of 9.84 for the men 's 100 meters , and Lilia Podkopayeva - who became the second gymnast to win an individual event gold after winning the all-round title in the same Olympics . The festivities were marred by violence on July 27 , when Eric Rudolph detonated pipe bombs at Centennial Olympic Park - a downtown park that was built to serve as a public focal point for the Games ' festivities , killing 1 and injuring 111 . In 2003 , Rudolph confessed to the bombing and a series of related attacks on abortion centers and a gay bar , and was sentenced to life in prison . He claimed that the bombing was meant to protest the U.S. government 's sanctioning of abortion on demand . The Games turned a profit , helped by record revenue from sponsorship deals and broadcast rights , and reliance on private funding ( as opposed to the extensive public funding used on later Olympics ) , among other factors .
Atlanta ( /ætˈlæntə/ ) is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia . With an estimated 2018 population of 498,044 , it is also the 37th most-populous city in the United States . The city serves as the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area , home to 5.9 million people and the ninth largest metropolitan area in the nation . Atlanta is the seat of Fulton County , the most populous county in Georgia . Portions of the city extend eastward into neighboring DeKalb County . Atlanta was originally founded as the terminus of a major state-sponsored railroad . With rapid expansion , however , it soon became the convergence point among multiple railroads , spurring its rapid growth . The city 's name derives from that of the Western and Atlantic Railroad 's local depot , signifying the town 's growing reputation as a transportation hub . During the American Civil War , the city was almost entirely burned to the ground in General William T. Sherman 's famous March to the Sea . However , the city rose from its ashes and quickly became a national center of commerce and the unofficial capital of the New South . During the 1950s and 1960s , Atlanta became a major organizing center of the civil rights movement , with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , Ralph David Abernathy , and many other locals playing major roles in the movement 's leadership . During the modern era , Atlanta has attained international prominence as a major air transportation hub , with Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport being the world 's busiest airport by passenger traffic since 1998 .

The city of Amsterdam had previously bid for the 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games , but was obliged to give way to war-torn Antwerp in Belgium for the 1920 Games and Pierre de Coubertin 's Paris for the 1924 Games . The United States won the most gold and overall medals . The only other candidate city for the 1928 Olympics was Los Angeles , which would eventually be selected to host the Olympics four years later . In preparation for the 1932 Summer Olympics , the United States Olympic Committee reviewed the costs and revenue of the 1928 Games . The committee reported a total cost of US $ 1.183 million with receipts of US $ 1.165 million , giving a negligible loss of US $ 18,000 , which was a considerable improvement over the 1924 Games .
