Mark Spitz Biography

Mark Spitz remains one of the most recognized faces in the world of olympics today. Although he won 11 Olympic medals over two Olympic Games Spitz will always be best remembered for his remarkable seven gold medals at the 1972 Games. It was during the Summer Games in Munich that Spitz set four individual world records: 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle and 100-meter and 200-meter butterfly. He also had a hand in setting three relay event world records: 4x100 freestyle 4x200 freestyle and 4x100 medley. He swam the third leg of the 200 freestyle and 100 medley and the last leg of the 100 freestyle. Spitz's final victory came only hours before Palestinian terrorists took hostage and eventually murdered 11 Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympic Village. Between 1965 and 1972 Spitz won nine Olympic gold medals one silver and one bronze; five Pan-American gold medals; 31 National US Amateur Athletic Union titles; and eight US National Collegiate Athletic Association Championships. During those years he set 33 World records.
