I vividly remember Ali lighting the Olympic cauldron at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta. The world was kept guessing who would emerge with the flame. When Ali came out I held my breath as he fought the trembling effects of Parkinson’s Disease that had ravaged his body. And when he held the flame high, I had goosebumps (and am getting them again as I relive that moment).
