Summer Olympic Games in Munich, Germany - 1972 Mark Spitz - the most successful athlete, winning seven gold medals, all in world record time.  And I was sitting right there... 😊🇩🇪📸 Greetings and have a great day all. 🤗 Save, Share and Tag this pic. 💾 I love to hear your comments. ✒ ~~~ The 1972 Summer Olympics (German: Olympische Sommerspiele 1972), officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad (German: Spiele der XX. Olympiade) and commonly known as Munich 1972 (German: München 1972), was an international multi-sport event held in Munich, Bavaria, West Germany, from 26 August to 11 September 1972.The event was overshadowed by the Munich massacre in the second week, in which eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer at Olympic village were killed by Palestinian Black September terrorists.The 1972 Summer Olympics were the second Summer Olympics to be held in Germany, after the 1936 Games in Berlin, which had taken place under the Nazi regime. The West German Government had been eager to have the Munich Olympics present a democratic and optimistic Germany to the world, as shown by the Games' official motto, "Die Heiteren Spiele", or "the cheerful Games". The logo of the Games was a blue solar logo (the "Bright Sun") by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the visual conception commission. The hostesses wore sky-blue dirndls as a promotion of Bavarian cultural heritage. The Olympic mascot, the dachshund "Waldi", was the first officially named Olympic mascot. The Olympic Fanfare was composed by Herbert Rehbein.The Soviet Union won the most gold and overall medals. . . #munich_germany #simplymunich #welovemunich #Munichworld⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #münchenliebe #ilovemunich #münchenistschön #igersmunich #muenchenstagram #instamunich #munichgram #visitmunich #mymunich #olympicgames #markspitz #visitbavaria #wirinbayern #deinbayern #bayernliebe #exploregermany #weliketotravel #worldtravelphotography #worldwithoutborders #instatravelers  #mustdotravels    #reiseliebe  #earthfokus #thetraveltag  #createxplore #passporttoearth (at Olympiapark München) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSO8tgAM2b-/?utm_medium=tumblr

LIFE legend Mark Spitz became the first person to win 7 gold medals at the Olympics on this day in 1972. He achieved this in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Mucnich when he won the 400-meter relay. He is pictured here earlier in the year training for the games.

Mark Spitz’s Speedo. They had many tangible items in swimming history here. This was one of them. I regret not getting a pic of @ryanlochte’s cap and windbreaker. #markspitz #speedo #swimming (at International Swimming Hall of Fame)
