Answer
Sotomayor missed the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta due to a knee injury he sustained during the 1996 Weltklasse track and field meeting. The Cuban high jumper was in exceptional form that year, having cleared 2.40 meters in July, just 2 centimeters short of his world record. Despite intensive rehabilitation, he was unable to recover in time for the Olympics, a significant setback in his illustrious career.
