Brundage, Icon of Amateurism, Dies at 87 in Germany
Longtime Olympic figure Avery Brundage died of a heart attack at 87 in Garmisch Partenkirchen after a career defending amateurism against professionalism and politics. The IOC pioneer, who led the federation for two decades, faced criticism over his stance as Munich 1972 loomed and Winter Games faced deepening commercialism. He leaves no children and was survived by his second wife, Princess Mariana Reuss.
