Question

What significant event violated the Olympic spirit at the 1972 Munich games?

Answer 1

There was a huge bar brawl that happened between the Germans and another group-sorry can't remember who...

Answer 2

At the 1972 summer games in Munich, Germany, 11 Israeli team members were taken hostage and killed by a terrorist group called Black September.  Five of the eight members of the terrorist group were killed by police officers during a rescue attempt and Israel later responded with a series of assassinations on those suspected of planning the killings of the Israeli team members.

The movie Munich goes into detail a little more and follows the life of one of the Israeli men who assassinated those in charge of killing the athletes and coaches.  It's a great movie and I highly recommend it if you are wanting to learn more about what happened that summer in Germany.

Answer 3

MASSACRE IN MUNICH: 1972

The darkest hour of the Olympics was in 1972, when eleven members of the Israeli delegation were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in Munich.

The Games resumed after a 24-hour hiatus, but the surviving members of the Israeli delegation accompanied their fellow sportsmen on their final journey home.

Despite the tragedy in Munich, Israel remained loyal to the Olympic ideal.

Answer 4

Other than Muslim terrorist murdering Israeli athletes, not much.
