After winning a gold medal in boxing (Light Heavyweight class) at the 1960 Summer Olympic Games in Rome, Muhammad Ali lost the medal. In 1996, at a ceremony during half-time of the USA vs. Yugoslavia men's basketball gold medal game at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch awarded "The Greatest" a replacement medal. Ali had thrilled audiences about two weeks earlier when he lit the Olympic torch to officially start the Atlanta Games.
