The Unified Team (ex USSR) dissolved and the ex-members of the Soviet Union participated as their own national teams. These games were marred by the [[Centennial Olympic Park bombing]], where one spectator was killed, 111 were wounded and one other guest died of a heart attack. Security guard [[Richard Jewell]] was first hailed as a hero for finding the bomb and calling the police, then later named as a suspect in planting it, then, after his name was printed in many newspapers as a suspect, exonerated in October, 1996.

Jewell filed lawsuits against several of the news outlets, including [[NBC]] television network, which paid him $500,000. Much of the money that Richard didn't pay in legal and income tax fees he used to buy his mother a new house.
