According to the Michael Phelps article, Spitz doesn't hold the record for most medals won (another guy won 8 medals in one olympics), but rather the record number of gold medals. If so, the text of this article needs to be corrected a bit. Nyh 09:56, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Also, the Russian guy listed at the bottom isn't the only person to hold more records from one olympics than Mark Spitz. Michael Phelps won 6 gold and 2 bronze medals at Athens in 2004. I will edit both pages to reflect that.Kmbell81 13:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now if there is guys that have more than 8 medals why dont you list them with their medals.Insert non-formatted text here Adrian A.Mendoza

Has Spitz been employed since retiring from swimming? Dynzmoar

According to the Indian University School of Dentistry, Mark Spitz was planning on attending in the fall of 1972, but instead he moved to California. He was quoted in the Chicago Tribune in June, 2004 saying, “I’m probably the most famous dentist who never became a dentist in the world.”

According to the ESPN bio link at the bottom of the article, he sold real estate in LA for a while, but now only does promotional appearances. He's listed as a speaker-for-hire on the CorporateSpeakers.com website, and others. -- Ryanjo 14:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spitz appeared in a week of Doonesbury strips in 1972. Zonker kept having nightmares involving the swimmer sitting on the foot of his bed. Is that worth mentioning as a cultural thing?
