Original 1996 Atlanta Olympics Flag, by Emerson USA. The 1996 Summer Olympics, formally known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad and informally known as the Centennial Olympics, were held in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia and were attended by thousands. It was the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic games. The games were distinguished by many athletic feats (and marred by a home-grown terror attack), but are best remembered for Muhammad Ali's lighting of the torch at the opening ceremonies. A truly historic moment in sports and pop culture seen by millions all over the world. This is an UNOPENED MINT-CONDITION Official flag made of heavy fabric from that Olympics, measuring 3' by 5'. This flag is the real deal, purchased in person by Mr. Pop Top one month before the games began at the Official Olympic Headquarters Store in Atlanta. It is a tough-get these days for collectors of Olympic memorabilia. Only one in stock.
