Briton Linford Christie won a 100m Olympic gold medal In what year?

So, I was just reminiscing about some epic Olympic moments, and I stumbled upon Linford Christie's insane 100m sprint back in the day. Dude was an absolute speed demon! It got me thinking, what year did our British legend snatch that shiny gold medal?

I mean, seriously, Christie's run was pure poetry in motion. The way he blasted down that track, leaving everyone else in his dust, was the stuff of legends. But yeah, back to the question at hand: when did this epic moment go down? Was it in the '90s, or maybe even earlier? My memory's a bit fuzzy on the exact year, so I'm turning to you awesome folks for some help!

I can already imagine the atmosphere in that stadium, the roar of the crowd as Christie crossed that finish line. Man, I wish I could've been there to witness it live! But hey, at least we can relive the glory through videos and old news clippings.

So, fellow Redditors, let's put our heads together and figure out which year our boy Christie secured that gold medal. Who's got the answer?
