The 1972 Munich Olympic Games is an Olympic Games held in Munich, West Germany, from August 26 to September 11, 1972.
Generally called the Munich Olympics. It is known for the occurrence of the Munich Olympics, which is said to be the worst tragedy in the history of the Olympics. The hosting of the Munich Olympics was decided on April 26, 1966, at the 64th IOC General Assembly in Rome, Italy. The mascot is a dachshund-inspired baldi and was also the first mascot to appear at the Summer Olympic Games. Shusaku Arakawa from Japan participated in the poster design for the Olympic Games. It will be held in Germany for the second time since the 1936 Berlin Games, but it will be officially the third time because the 1916 Games, which was canceled due to World War I, will remain held (“deemed holding”). Will be. However, in the mass media reports, it is often reported as the second Olympics in Germany because it is considered from the actual holding times. It was Germany's first Olympic Games after World War II, and it was a time when the mutual recognition of East Germany and West Germany, which were divided nations at that time, and simultaneous accession to the United Nations were imminent. From this tournament, judo and handball have been revived as official events. It is from this tournament that not only the athlete's oath but also the referee's oath came to be taken at the opening ceremony. It is also the tournament where Japanese men's gymnastics was the strongest. Japan won 16 of the 24 medals in all 8 events. In the group, he won the championship for the fourth time in a row, following Rome in 1960, Tokyo in 1964, and Mexico in 1968. Gold, silver and bronze medals are monopolized for all-around, horizontal bar and parallel bars.The American team, who was dissatisfied with the series of actions that the Soviet Union succeeded in reversing, interrupting and resuming play from the remaining 3 seconds of the match time and redoing it (replay by returning the time), participated in the award ceremony and received the silver medal. Refused. Since some countries did not participate in the boycott after the next Olympic Games in Montreal, we had to wait until the Seoul Olympics as an Olympic Games in which countries and regions from almost all over the world participated. On September 5, during the session, Palestinian guerrillas attacked the Israeli athletes' dormitory in the Olympic Village. After killing Israeli team wrestling coaches and weightlifting players, nine were taken hostage. The rescue failed, and after a gunshot, all nine hostages, five guerrillas, and one policeman were killed in a catastrophe.
Track and field was held from August 31, 1972 to September 10, 1972. 24 events were added for boys, 1500m and 4x400m relays were added for girls, and 14 events were contested. In the men's 100m dash, there was an incident in which American representatives Eddie Hart and Ray Robinson, who held the world record at the same time and were regarded as champion candidates, were disqualified from the second qualifying (quarterfinal) due to being late. .. The cause was that coach Stan Wright had informed the athletes of the race schedule that was created 18 months before the Olympics, and Wright himself was not informed that the time had changed since then, which is the correct time. I believed. On the day of the race, from 19:00 in the evening, when waiting for the bus to the stadium at the ABC TV headquarters, the qualifying broadcast that they should participate in was broadcast on TV, and it was initially a rebroadcast of the first qualifying. I was thinking, but the staff of ABC TV told me that it was a video of the second qualifying. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hart, Robinson, Wright and Robert Taylor hurried to the venue. After arriving at the venue, he appealed to the referees to redo the race, but it was not recognized, and only Taylor, who was three groups in the end, could participate in the second qualifying and finally won the silver medal in this event. As a result, only Robinson won the medal and the Olympics ended, but later he said, "I have no intention of blaming Wright." Robinson has been a coach at Florida A & M University since 2001, and also coached Walter Dix, who won the bronze medal in the men's 100m and 200m runs at the Beijing Olympics.

I am always fascinated regarding the development of the Fosbury Flop, I wonder if that was an organic logical progression or if they now did it because of Fosbury in 1968.
