Mark Spitz

 


Mark Spitz (1950 - present) wowed the world by winning seven gold medals for America in swimming events during the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich. He was the most successful athlete at that Olympics, and held the record for gold medals won in one Olympics until Michael Phelps topped him with eight at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Fun fact: At college Mark was known by his teammates as "Mark the Shark".

"I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today."
