1996-Laura Davies shoots a 6-under 66 for a two-stroke victory over Nancy Lopez and Karrie Webb in the du Maurier Classic.

1996-The Atlanta Olympic Games end with U.S. boxer David Reid's stunning gold-medal knockout, and the women Dream Team's romp over Brazil. Reid captures America's only boxing gold, knocking down Cuban Alfredo Duvergel, while the U.S. women roll to a 111-87 victory behind Lisa Leslie's 29 points. A record 11,000 athletes from 197 countries make it the biggest Olympics.

2002-Otylia Jedrzejczak of Poland breaks the world record in the women's 200-meter butterfly, finishing in 2 minutes, 5.78 seconds at the European Swimming Championships in Berlin. She betters the mark of 2:05.81 set by Australian Susan O'Neill in May 2000.
