THE GAMES OF THE XXVI OLYMPIAD

*

The world's favorite non-lethal form of jingoism, the Olympic Games, aren't always as memorable as you'd think: If you've already forgotten the names of pentathletes from Atlanta, here's a chance to brush up. This site from NBC, who (coincidentally) televised the games, features some fine memorabilia, including a sound file of the Olympic theme. Other site highlights include athlete profiles, first-personal journals from Olympic hopefuls and a sports index detailing all the events from archery to weightlifting. Yes, it's a commercial site, but it's a really good commercial site.
