2 Wrestlers (Eliezer Halfin & Mark Slavin)
A Wrestling coach (Moshe Weinberg)
A Wrestling referee (Yossef Gutfreund)
3 Weightlifters (Yossef Romano, Ze'ev Friedman, David Berger)
A Weightlifting Judge (Yakov Springer)
A Shooting coach (Kehat Shorr)
A Fencing Coach (Andre Spitzer)
A Track Coach (Amitzur Shapira)
Also, one German police officer was killed (Anton Fliegerbauer)
The Olympics, a symbol of humanity, peace & brotherly love, were not stopped. the games continues normally. Later, the Germans staged a crime and used it to release the surviving terrorists involved.
Ever since, the International Olympic Comittee refuses to commemorate the events during the Olympics, despite requests by the victims families, as well as both Israeli and world leaders and public figures, most recently President Obama and Candidate Mitt Romney. The IOC claims that such an observance or moment of silence will not be in line with the spirit of the opening ceremony, but provided such a moment of silence for Georgian athlete Luger Nodar Kumaritashvilli who was killed hours before the 2010 winter games. Today, at the 40 years mark of that horrible crime, not only did the IOC prohibited the London Games from carrying a moment of silence for the athletes who fell victim at Munich, they did have one for "friends and family of stadium spectators cannot be here tonight", as well as a pause for victims of the world wars.

Thanks man. I shortened the link and edited it.
Yossef Gutfreund, a wrestling referee, was awakened by a faint scratching noise at the door of Apartment 1, which housed the Israeli coaches and officials. When he investigated, he saw the door begin to open and masked men with guns on the other side. He shouted a warning to his sleeping roommates and threw his nearly 300 lb. (135 kg) weight against the door in a futile attempt to stop the intruders from forcing their way in. Gutfreund's actions gave his roommate, weightlifting coach Tuvia Sokolovsky, enough time to smash a window and escape. Wrestling coach Moshe Weinbergfought the intruders, who shot him through his cheek and then forced him to help them find more hostages. Leading the terrorists past Apartment 2, Weinberg lied to the terrorists by telling them that the residents of the apartment were not Israelis. Instead, Weinberg led them to Apartment 3, where the terrorists corralled six wrestlers and weightlifters as additional hostages. It is possible that Weinberg hoped that the stronger men would have a better chance of fighting off the attackers, but they were all surprised in their sleep.[19]
As the athletes from Apartment 3 were marched back to the coaches' apartment, the wounded Weinberg again attacked the terrorists, allowing one of his wrestlers, Gad Tsobari, to escape via the underground parking garage.[20] The burly Weinberg knocked one of the intruders unconscious and slashed another with a fruit knife before being shot to death. Weightlifter Yossef Romano, a veteran of the Six-Day War, also attacked and wounded one of the intruders before being shot and killed.
I have never read a positive word about the IOC.
Nothing changed tonight.

Yah I see that. I guess my post is kind of redundant now lol
Smith1234 - Costas just gave some great comments about it now before commercial break. He is right.
What'd he say?
An israeli talking about peace, oh the ironing...
Can Jews stop with their pleas for sympathy.
It was a good movie.
It's too convenient for them to forget it, back then people were upset about how the IOC blatantly ignored the siege and wanted the games to continue. Some cold shit right there.
Shahanshah - this is about trying to give the world public, the impression that Israelis, owners of one of the world's best armies and over 200 highly accurate nuclear weapons with a second strike capability are actually the REAL victims.
not the Palestinians, not every non Ashkenazi minority in Israel, but those poor, poor Israelis, living on stolen land, riding in American tanks, always suffering...
You're a massive douche for turning a sombre moment where people were murdered into your political asshattery. You should be ashamed, but I doubt you have the empathy to know why.
how many people coudl they feed on just fireworks money alone... fucking disgrace to the world, is what the Olympics are....
Now comes the terrorist political trolls trying to make this something political. Guys who support the murderous dictator assad and trying to make me look like scum. Again, other victims WERE mentioned, so i guess the ioc is full of such douches like them. I could have been Russian, Chinese, Irani, Syrian, Pakistani, Palestinian, Tutsi, or anything else, and no one would have had anything but respect for those innocent who died in such a horrible way. But boy those Satanic Israelis. Would have been funny if it wasn't so pathetic and obvious and sad.
Athletes were murdered. Sportsmen. In a Sporting event.
Shame on you
Why did you post this on a MMA forum? Take this stuff to the OG

There were wrestlers among them. It is now the olympics.
Would you have asked the same questions if they were American wrestlers or English or Russians?
