Is a american swimmer. In the 1972 Munich Olympics won seven gold medals in seven events in which he participated, the high in the same edition of the Olympic Games, plus seven world records to beat.
In the Mexico Olympics, Spitz won two gold medals (4x100 and 4x200 free relay), silver (100m butterfly) and one bronze (100m freestyle), triumphs considered somewhat disappointing, in anticipation of winning five or six gold medals.
Four years later, the results were very different ..
The gold medals were accumulated in those seven games, a record still unsurpassed. It began in the 200m butterfly, in which Spitz lowered his own world record by nearly a second (2 min 00 sec 70 cent). An hour later, led the 4x100 relay team to victory, with a new world record. The next day he returned to the pool to win his third gold medal and beat his third world record, this time in the 200 freestyle (1 min 52 sec 78 cent). Two days later smashed two world records in the 100m butterfly (54 sec 27cent) and the 4x200 free relay.
