Answer
Atlanta 1996 was the Olympic Games that Joyner-Kersee missed out on due to an injury. She had been training for the long jump and heptathlon events but sustained a hamstring injury during the U.S. Olympic Trials, forcing her to withdraw from the team. This was a significant disappointment for Joyner-Kersee, who had won gold medals in both the long jump and heptathlon at the previous two Olympic Games.
