1990年9月20日从东京传来一条几乎令人不能相信的新闻,美国亚特兰大市在国际奥委会举行的全体委员会议上,淘汰了包括雅典在内的6个申办城市,荣获第26届夏季奥运会的承办权。这是美国第4次获得夏季奥运会承办权。这意味着现代奥林匹克运动会100周年的庆典活动不是由雅典人操办而是由亚特兰大人领衔主演。对希腊热情的奥林匹克人来说,这个打击实在太大了。难怪乎希腊奥委会委员们说:今后我们再也不会申办奥运会了,我们要抵制现代奥运会百年活动。
On September 20, 1990, an almost unbelievable news story came from Tokyo. At the committee meeting held by the International Olympic Committee, Atlanta, the United States, eliminated 6 host cities, including Athens, and won the 26th Summer Olympic Games hosting rights. This is the 4th U.S. bid to host the Summer Olympics. This means that the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the modern Olympic Games are not starred by the Athenians but starred by the Atlanteans. To Greek Olympic enthusiasts, this blow is too great. No wonder the Greek Olympic Committee members said: In the future we will not bid for the Olympic Games, and we have to resist the centennial activities of the modern Olympic Games.
