    Which Olympics had this incident?

    Does anyone remember the Olympic year when the US coach got the schedule mixed up and the athletes didn't show up in time for their meet? I think they were chilling in their room when the coach realized the mistake. I believe it was track & field and I think they had to forfeit. It was maybe 20 years ago.

    I found the answer: the 1972 Olympics in Munich. The same year Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals and 11 athletes were murdered in Olympic Village.
    Here is the link if anyone is interested:
