The 1996 Olympics were very good to Atlanta for so many reasons. One reason that I'd like to touch on for just a moment is all the new art that came to the City as a result of hosting the Olympic Games. One piece of art in particular—"Tribute" by Peter Calaboyias—is completely and totally fascinating...I love this sculpture!
This solitary sculpture embodies the long and storied history of the Olympic Games, as well as its origins and it speaks to its future, as well.

Georgia.info has excellent information on the Calaboyias sculpture:
The sculpture "shows three figures: a nude male runner competing in the first Games in Olympia, Greece, 776 B.C.; a male runner competing in the first modern Games in Athens, Greece, in 1896; and a female runner competing in the Centennial Games in Atlanta in 1996. The three figures are set upon the arch of Olympia, through which athletes of the Ancient Games entered the Olympic stadium."
