I was born in 1994. That year was rich with events.

First of all, in 1994 the 17th Winter Olympic Games were held in Lillehammer, Norway. The results of Russian sportsmen were the best: our country got 23 medals: 11 gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze medals.

Moreover, in 1994 Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's first Black president. In 1994 the sitcom "Friends" started and became very famous and popular.

In July 1994 the planet Jupiter was hit by a comet. The Brazil won 1994 football World Cup. Israel and Jordan signed a treaty of peace, and the long Israel-Jordan war ended.

In September 1994 Russia and China agreed to de-target their nuclear weapons against each other.

In Novermber Michael Schumacher won his first Formula 1 World Championship.
In December Russian President Boris Yeltsin ordered troops into Chechnya.

Of course, there were much more events, but these are the most remarkable, I think.
