In September 1972, during the 20th Munich Olympic Games, on the morning of the 5th, eight black September armed **** broke into the residence of Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympic Village, killed Israeli weightlifting coach and athlete Joseph Roman on the spot, and nine athletes and two coaches were held hostage. As a result, the Olympics were suspended. Since then, Black September has issued an offending statement calling for the release of 234 Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel.

Israel** rejected the demand for the release of political prisoners, but agreed to consider Egypt's proposal to transfer the hostages to Cairo, Egypt, for further negotiations. At the same time, the IOC also authorized Ahmed Tuni, the Egyptian member of the IOC, to negotiate with ****: on the condition of releasing the hostages, guarantee the safe departure of ****, and pay them a huge amount of money.

But it was refused.

At about 10 o'clock that night, West Germany agreed to the evacuation request of "Black September", transported **** and hostages to Fürstenfeldbruck air base with two ***, and then transferred to leave the country. **Originally planned to take the opportunity of changing planes to rescue the hostages, but due to the unsuccessful sniper operation, which caused a shootout confrontation, **** blew up a *** with a grenade, resulting in the death of all 9 hostages. West Germany also lost 1 policeman and 1 pilot in this rescue.

Five of the eight ****s were eliminated and the remaining three were arrested when they escaped, but were rescued after a hijacking in 1977.

On 6 September, a memorial service was held for the Israeli delegation, and the Games, which had been interrupted for 34 hours, were finally resumed.

Hart and Robertson, two of the United States' 100m record holders of 9.9 seconds, were expected to win the Games, and after the 100m heats, they returned to the Olympic Village with teammate Taylor to rest. At around 4 p.m., they were still watching TV in the lounge, when suddenly the 100-meter race was shown on the screen, and at first they thought it was a replay of the morning race, and when they figured out that it was the start of the afternoon rematch, the three of them went straight to the competition field. However, it was too late, Hart and Robertson had already missed the game, and only Taylor made it to the group rematch.

The gold medal was taken away by the Soviet Union's Bortsov with a time of 10.14 seconds, and Taylor won the silver medal.
