    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The lawyer, Billy Payne, tried to sell the idea of the Atlanta Olympics to the mayor, Andy Young. But Young had already decided to support the idea.

    #2 The Olympic Games had been created in Greece in the eighth century BCE as a religious event to honor the god Zeus. In 1896, a French aristocrat with a passion for Greek philosophy, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, led an effort to relaunch the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

    #3 Atlanta was chosen to be the American city to compete for the 1996 Olympics in September 1987. The city would have two years to convince the eighty-five members of the International Olympic Committee that their city was a better choice than the other five competing finalists.

    #4 The Atlanta team’s strategy was to make every voter their friend. The Dutch had invested heavily in Atlanta, and the Japanese had built-in financial reasons to support Atlanta. Young recognized Africa as the most promising bloc of votes.
