Olympic Games Rome

One of the more than 5,000 athletes at the Games in Rome is an 18-year-old boxer named Cassius Clay. He wins gold in the light heavyweight division. This marks the beginning of a world-class career. After converting to Islam, he takes the name Muhammad Ali and becomes world heavyweight champion. In 1996, he lights the Olympic flame in Atlanta. Three years later, the International Olympic Committee names him “Athlete of the Century.”
