At the XX. At the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich , 38 competitions - 24 of them for men and 14 for women - took place in athletics . The venue was the Olympic Stadium .

Attendees

As with the three previous Olympic Games, there were problems and special cases with regard to the participation of certain nations. Not allowed were u. a. the People's Republic of China , which was still not a member of the IOC, and South Africa . Rhodesia was only excluded shortly before the start of the Games after 27 African countries threatened to boycott.

The divided Germany appeared for the second time with two independent teams, now also under their own flag. The official names were now 'Deutschland' or 'Germany' for the Federal Republic of Germany and 'German Democratic Republic' or 'German Democratic Republic' - short 'DDR' or 'GDR' for the GDR .

Stadion

The Munich Olympic Stadium met the most modern requirements. The 400-meter circular track as well as the run-up tracks for the various jumping and throwing competitions were made of plastic , as they were at the last games in Mexico City . Eight lanes were available so that eight participants could take part in the finals. This was also practiced in the throwing disciplines as well as in the long jump and triple jump for the last three finals.

A special feature was the construction of the stadium, often referred to as a 'tent roof', which was intended to express a lightness and liveliness. The idea for this comes from the architect and architecture professor Günter Behnisch . Like many other innovations, the construction of the stadium with this new type of roof was not without controversy, especially since the costs in the end were around eight times higher than originally planned.

Terrorist attack

The Munich Olympic assassination described in more detail in the main article on these games also had a significant impact on athletics competitions . The mood was different than before, the sport had to bear an unprecedented level of stress. The question of whether the competitions should be continued was answered by IOC President Avery Brundage with a clear vote: "The Games must go on."

technology

Electronic timekeeping has been in use since the Olympic Games in 1932 . Until 1968 , however, it was only used for control purposes, and the official results still included the times that the timekeepers manually set. That changed from now on: the electronically determined results became official, the times were given in hundredths of a second - apart from the competitions with a track length of 20 kilometers or more. For the first time, electronic technology was also used for the throwers to measure the distance, so the conventional tape measure was finally obsolete at such major events.

Competitions

There were two additions to the women's section in the competition: the 1500 meter run was on the program for the first time . The 800-meter run was no longer the longest route for women. In addition, there was now a 4 x 400 meter relay for women. In the hurdles race , the distance was extended from 80 meters to 100 meters. This should take into account the stride length of women in this discipline. To date - as of November 2017 - nothing has changed in the field of men's Olympic disciplines. For women, however, there were numerous other additions to be made in the future.

For the first time, blood doping was officially prohibited at these games - but this could not yet be controlled.

Sporting successes

The level of performance was also very high at this major event. There were 13 new or discontinued world records in 13 disciplines. In another 14 disciplines, the Olympic record was improved or equalized fourteen times.

For the first time in athletics, the most successful nation was no longer the United States . In front of them were two nations that invested a great deal of state funding in the field of sport, and the success was inevitable: the athletes from the USSR won nine gold medals, the GDR was able to record eight Olympic victories. In terms of the total number of medals, the GDR was even ahead of the Soviet Union with a total of 20, which had a total of 17 medals. The USA had six Olympic champions in their ranks, but collected the most precious metal with 22 medals. The Federal Republic of Germany also achieved six Olympic victories - more than ever before in athletics. Finland's athletes have won three Olympic golds, Kenya has two Olympic victories. For all other nations there was at most one gold medal in athletics.

Five athletes won at least two gold medals in athletics at these games:

In addition, three other services deserve special mention:

When he crossed the finish line, a student stole the show from the American winner Frank Shorter , who overcame the barriers with a self-painted start number and entered the stadium shortly before him, where the spectators initially mistook him for the leading runner until the security forces took him to the The time when Shorter entered the stadium.

The scoring was based on the points table from 1964, which was also used at the last Olympic Games . For a better classification of the performance, in addition to the official points according to the rating table from 1964, the number of points converted according to the current rating system from 1985 is also given. According to this table, which is valid today, the seventh-placed Dane Steen Smidt-Jensen would have moved up two places. The decathletes in ranks five and six would each have fallen one place back. There would have been no further changes to the top eight. But these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.

September 2nd and 3rd

The scoring was based on the newly introduced point table from 1971, which had become necessary to meet the changed performance standards of the individual disciplines. In addition, the 80-meter hurdles previously included in the pentathlon had been replaced by the 100-meter hurdles . Therefore the scores achieved here are not comparable with the values ​​of earlier results according to the old rating system.

For a better classification performance in addition to official points after the table of 1971, according to today in are Heptathlon valid scoring system from 1980 converted scores with specified. According to this table, there would have been only one change in the order of the first eight: the first and second placed athletes would have swapped their medals. But these comparisons are only indicative, because the different standards of the time must apply as a basis.
