Israel has never won an Olympic medal but one of the most distinguished of Jewish medalists. A g n e s A world record was broken at Munich, and swimmer Mark Spitz w a lked — or rather, swam—off with his third Olympic gold medal, Wednesday. He was going to attempt two more gold medal wins Thursday night, which would make him the first Olympic swimmer to win five golds in one Olympics. The first gold was for the 200-meter men's butterfly. His world record time was 2.00.70. The handsome Spitz, 22, whose two gold medals in 1968 came in relays, got an- other gold in the Munich games as his share in the 400 - meter freestyle relay. The four-man American team set another world record. 3 - 26.42. Spitz's third gold came with the 200- meter freestyle. Spitz, a Californian. who is studying dentistry at Indi- ana University. swam so fast in the butterfly that his run- ner-up had to swim in the rough water he left behind. But the man who finished second to Spitz Gary Hall, paid tribute to the winner, saying "finishing second to Mark isn't like losing to someone else. He's the one man I don't mind saying I lost to. He's great." Spitz's greatness was com• pounded by the fact that the world record he broke was his own, and it was the third Keleti of Hungary, who won no less than 11 medals, set- tled in Israel after the 1956 revolution in Hungary and became one of the country's main gymnastic trainers.
