Jump forward ten years and in Munich, at the Munich
Olympic Games, American swimmer Mark Spitz became the first man
to win seven gold medals at the same Olympic Games.
Was absolutely remarkable.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
Spits. If he does what is even remotely suggested that
he is capable of doing, he will obviously be one
of the super athletes of nineteen seven or at the
game one hundred meter free style a goal, the two
hundred meter free style a goal, the one hundred meter
butterfly a goal, the two hundred meter butterfly again a goal,

died at the age of forty four in Australia off
Port Douglas after being attacked by a stingray.

Steve Irwin, you might know me as the Crocodile Hunt.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
This was classic Steve Irwin, combining a love of the
Australian wildlife with a confidence in front of the camera
few could match. Eat spot Ah, just kidding. The so
called Crocodile Hunter was killed during the underwater filming of
his latest documentary. It's believed the forty four year old
father of two died after being stabbed through the chest
