About Mark Spitz
Mark Spitz is an American former competitive swimmer and nine-time Olympic champion. He was born on 10 February 1950 in Modesto. Swimming World Magazine named him World Swimmer of the Year in 1969, 1971 and 1972.
Between 1968 and 1972, Spitz won nine Olympic golds, a silver and a bronze, along with five Pan American golds, 31 Amateur Athletic Union titles and eight NCAA titles. At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich he won seven gold medals, each in world-record time, and was the most successful athlete at those Games. That total stood as a record for 36 years, until Michael Phelps won eight golds at the 2008 Games in Beijing. Over those years Spitz set 35 world records, two of them in trials and unofficial. He was the third athlete to win nine Olympic gold medals.
