Spitz and Schollander Swim Rivalry in Pan Am Games
The Pan Am Games feature a famed rivalry between Mark Spitz and Don Schollander as Spitz, 17, contemplates nationwide glory. Spitz set a 200m butterfly world record, won the 100m butterfly in 57.3 seconds tying his mark, and anchored the 800m freestyle relay to Pan American record. He aims for four to six medals, while Schollander, once Tokyo’s four golds holder, is portrayed as past his peak. Spitz vows to be the best, chasing Mexico City and perhaps 1972.
