What happened in Munich didn't stay in Munich. Sun Jun 27, 2021 The games opening in Tokyo next month will be the first Olympics to be delayed by a pandemic. For the first Olympics to experience radical Islamic terrorism, dial back to the 1972 games in Munich. On September 5, 1972, Palestinian terrorists of the Black September faction, disguised as athletes, forced their way into the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team. Weightlifter Yossef Romano, on crutches due to an injury, attempted to disarm a terrorist but was shot dead and castrated, a mutilation not revealed until 2015. The carnage continued and by the next day, the terrorists had killed eleven Israelis. As broadcaster Jim McKay told the world, “They’re all gone.”
