TheOlympia Schwimmhalle is an aquatics centre located in theOlympiapark inMunich,Germany. It hosted theswimming,diving,water polo, and the swimming part of themodern pentathlon events at the1972 Summer Olympics. At the Olympics, the stadium had a 9000-seat temporary capacity which was reduced to 1,500 soon afterwards. During the 1972 Summer Olympics, in the 29 Olympic swimming events, all the Olympic Records were broken and 20 new World Records were achieved.
The Schwimmhalle is unique for its roof construction, which is a lightweight stressed-skin structure. This curved structure bears loads through tension only, not compression. The double curvature in the roof design provides the support, which is further stabilized through pre-tensioned guy wires.
The Olympia Schwimmhalle is where Australian teenagerShane Gould won three gold medals, a silver medal and a bronze, at the 1972 Summer Olympics, becoming the first woman swimmer to win five individual medals. SwimmerMark Spitz broke the record for most individual gold medals won in a single Olympics with seven gold medals. This record was not surpassed until fellow swimmerMichael Phelps won eight gold medals at the2008 Summer Olympics inBeijing.
