Olympic Summer Games (video game) Olympic Summer Games (video game) Olympic Summer Games is an official video game of the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. It is the successor to "Olympic Gold" and "Winter Olympics". It was the last "Olympic" video game released for the fourth generation of consoles, as well as the Game Boy. It follows the already common button mashing techniques of previous (and future) games, with the usual exceptions. It has 10 events (three more than "Olympic Gold"), with all but two based on track and field events. Unlike "Winter Olympics", there are no major differences between each event on different platforms. The
Olympic Games detect banned substances. Several athletes were barred from competition by their National Olympic Committees prior to the Games; only three athletes failed drug tests while in competition in Beijing. In London over 6,000 Olympic and Paralympic athletes were tested. Prior to the Games 107 athletes tested positive for banned substances and were not allowed to compete. During and after the Games eight athletes tested positive for a banned substance and were suspended, including shot putter Nadzeya Ostapchuk, who was stripped of her gold medal. Russia was partially banned from the 2016 Summer Olympics and completely banned from the 2018 Winter
