The 1972 Olympic Games, held in Munich, are widely remembered but for often contrasting reasons. On one side you have the remarkable performance of legendary Mark Spitz who won 7 gold medals in the pool. On the other you have the sad events when terrorists invaded the athlete's village and subsequently killed 11 Israeli athletes and coaches. However, alongside these events, there is still today a very real reminder of the Olympic Games when you visit ...
