It was 22 years ago this summer the world came to Lake Lanier and Gainesville became “the hospitality capital of the world” for two weeks, as NBC announcer Charlie Jones said. International fans waved flags and cheered on their countrymen, athletes earned the experience of a lifetime, and everyone left with a smile on their face from the Centennial Olympic Games events on Lanier. Now the world is back. Or at least a piece of it, 14 teams from around the world competing this week in the International Canoe Federation Dragon Boat World Championships at Lake Lanier Olympic Park.
