Mark Andrew Spitz (born February 10, 1950) is an American swimmer. He holds the record for most gold medals won in a single Olympic Games (seven), which he set at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.
At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich (West Germany), Spitz was back to maintain his bid for the six gold medals. He did even more, winning seven Olympic gold medals, a feat as of 2006 unequalled by any other Olympic athlete. Further, Spitz set a new world record in each of the seven events (the 100 m freestyle, 200 m freestyle, 100 m butterfly, 200 m butterfly, 4 x 100 m freestyle, 4 x 200 m freestyle and the 4 x 100 m medley).

Mark Spitz in 1972 Olympic Games. He's a legend. I was 17 years old then and was very inspired to see such great feat. Since then I have become an avid follower of the Olympic Games and even seriously tried to train to qualify for the marathon national team (Philippines).
