Summer Olympics

Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics. The games were held in a large, beautiful park on the outskirts of town. The sweeping, glass roofs of the venues were considered futuristic at the time. American swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals, only to be surpassed by the eight won by Michael Phelps in Beijing. However, Mark Spitz broke world records in all  seven events.
