The Iconic Celebrities We Had No Idea Are Still Alive
Mark Spitz (Born In 1950) – Olympic Games
In 2021, the legendary American former swimmer Mark Spitz talked to CNN about how “somebody, someday” will beat Michael Phelps’s outstanding Olympic record. Spitz should know about it: after all, he was the ultimate American swimmer before Phelps came into the scene. He was only the third person in history to win nine Olympic gold medals.
Nicknamed ‘Mark the Pool Shark,’ Spitz marked a generation in American sports by destroying his competition in the 1972 Munich games. He also landed multiple first-place medals in the Mexico City Games and the 1967 Pan American Games.
