American Swimmer Mark Spitz won seven gold medals at the '72 Munich games held in Munich, West Germany, the second Summer Olympic festival held in Germany, the first being the '36 games in Berin. This feat of Spitz was a then world record for most gold medals in a single Olympic game. Michael Phelps then broke this record after receiving eight golds in the Beijing games. He left before the closing ceremonies in fear of being a target of Palestinian terrorism, since he was in fact, jewish. He also won these medals with long hair and a really cool mustache, which is awesome.
