Carsten Keller, o-ton: "Yes, the strongest impression of the Olympiad in 1972 for me, of course, is their own gold medal, that's clear that man was happy mind-boggling about. Otherwise we were we of German athletes from the outset, excited about the whole organization. Living in the Olympic village was wonderful, we have had much contact with other Nations."
Bernd k.: "Yes, even if I try to objectivity, joins the personal experience always in the foreground. I'm race Walker and also knew that I am one of the worst, but our discipline has never stood in the foreground. The firing of acclaim of 80,000 at the stadium was so fascinating for me.

Year in review: Munich 72-Helsinki 52 stopover on the way to Helsinki: the Olympic flame in Munich tribute to a nation whose sportsmen may 1952 participate for the first time after the war again in Olympic Games.
20 years later, the Olympic flame for the games in Munich becomes inflamed after always same ceremony in the greichischen Olympic.
UFA there faces: the Helsinki 1932 and the games of Munich in 1972 - parallel, developments, highlights. the most striking trend: Dr. Karl Adam: "If you are now considering whether they can determine a tergs trend, then falls on: first an increasing - na Gigantomania say everything was numerous, large, gigantic, larger, and a second general trend especially since Tokyo seems me to be that always more representative - buildings played a role very great expense in and yes the spectacular Müchner tent roof was a peak point." Figures show the modified dimensions.
Glittering, histrionics and perfect, as it had promised Germany's sports Manager in the world, the opening ceremony in Munich expired.
Among the participants for the first time with owner team under owner flag: athletes of the GDR - 1952 they were still of the games excluded-that's what started the Saarland as the second German team.
The official gallery addition to Willy Brandt Avery Brundage. In Munich he returned from his post as President of the International Olympic Committee, with which he's from 1952 when he led the American team in the stadium of Helsinki, for 20 years the Olympic movement has decisively settings.
Olympic Games - since 1936 unmistakably also a stage for political demonstrations. In Helsinki, Rotraut-Pleyer, a young German, a peace manifesto wants to read. She is rudely dragged the first words from the podium.
The largest part of the world laments the first dead of Olympic Games in Munich. Avery Brundage controversial phrase 'The Games must go on' coagulates to the future Durchhalteparole: politically motivated terrorist should be no more than the dream of the unifying IDEs of sport.
A special feature of each games: the victories of their favorites. In Munich, Heide Rosendahl is safe tip of gold medal in the long jump. But with 6, 78 meters, she beats the runner-up just by one centimeter. In Helsinki, Emil Zatopek, the Czech locomotive, it is 30 years old at the time. He wins over 5,000 and 10,000 metres and the marathon race. A one-time success.
In the 5,000 m race across he sprints 200 meters from the finish of the German Schade, the French Mimouen and the Englishman Chataway, plunging.
Another characteristic of every games: the triumphs of their outsider. In Helsinki Werner Lueg, shortly before the finish of gold of the Luxembourg Joseph loses German lands world record runner Bartel and silver over 1,500 meters at the American McMillan.
Tears of joy over the first Luxemburgish rider in the history of the Olympic Games gold medal.
In Munich, the 16-year-old Ulrike Meyfarth earned the distinction "sensational". You top of 1.92 metres and thereby improved their record by seven centimetres. Her role model, Dick Fosbury, who in Mexico in 1968 with his new jump style surprised and gave impetus to the vault-new.
Hochsprungtechniken, and even today still not ousted. demonstrating the best jumpers in Helsinki. 1, 67 m ranged back to victory.
The bamboo rod jumps the American Pastor Bob Richards in Helsinki 4, 55 m and WINS - creates Wolfgang Nortwig from East Germany 5, 50 meters with the glass fibre rod in Munich and thus ended the uninterrupted streak of the Americans.
A man sets new standards in the Karaul - and dolphin swim in the Munich Stadium. Superstar Mark Spitz will begin in four individual and three relay races and WINS each time in a new world record time.
Until 1960, the dolphin - swim, became the second fastest after the crawl Schwimmart from butterfly - swimming with the Munich Herbert Klein in Helsinki wins the bronze medal.
Pages reached the final of Olympic box tournaments German Boxer. 1952 Edgar fought for Basel against the colored American of Brooks is unexpectedly the silver medal. 1972 wins again a German Boxer, Dieter Kottysch, in the dark shirt, the Olympic gold for the erstas time since 1936. The unrestrained joy outbreak reveals something of the value that our companies measures to win the gold medal.
High point of both games: the women 4 x 100 meter run.
In Helsinki, the German girls, who are still in third place, are intercepted by the Americans at the finish line. Both teams run new world record with 45, 9 seconds.
Munich finally the dream of Olympic gold for the German Quartet is met. With Heide Rosendahl as final runner it beats the favored East German girls in a world record time of 42, 8 seconds.
What matters to the stresses and strains: victory or what still important should be after Olympic commitment, participation in the games. We asked athletes, what has impressed them in 1952 and in 1972 the most. Carsten Keller: "Yes, the strongest impression of the Olympiad in 1972 for me, of course, is their own gold medal, it is clear that gefraut has is mind-boggling about. Otherwise we were we of German athletes from the outset, excited about the whole organization. Living in the Olympic village was wonderful, we have had much contact with other Nations."
Bernd k.: "Yes, even if I try to objectivity, joins the personal experience always in the foreground. I'm race Walker and also knew that I am one of the worst, but our discipline has never stood in the foreground. The firing of acclaim of 80,000 at the stadium was so fascinating for me. They were finally not only Germans, there were sports fans and sportbegsisterts people from all over the world."
Ulrike Meyfarth: "me impressed actually right about, the buildings and the Klims, but most was the audience, what is very objective went with them and was quite expert at the competition."
Helmut Bantz: "for all of us this first participation in the Olympic Games was the big experience of course in 1952. "In addition of course this family being together with athletes from around the world in the Olympic village, where, Yes, where almost everybody knew everybody, where the individual sports are mixed with each other."
HERBERG Schade: "the Olympic Games in 1952 were my biggest sporting experience. The games were personal. The person to person was warm. "I would like to say that these games still in the sense of the Olympic idea was a meeting of the youth of the world."
Sports, once the most beautiful thing in the world declared, becoming the dassinsbestimmenden main purpose has become since the Helsinki games: Olympic Games lie at the intersection of many interests.
Doubts about the sense of the Olympic Games are increased.
When the International Olympic Committee, the athletes and the sports-interested in all over the world but still believe in the enjoyable power of sport seems to predominate.
Today, that will host the games in Montréal in any case seems certain.
