Answering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/watch-katie-ledecky-pull-off-stunning-balancing-act-in-got-milk-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Katie Ledecky&#8217;s recent effort<\/a> of swimming without spilling the glass of chocolate milk she was balancing on her head, Spitz showed he still has impressive form. The 11-time Olympic medalist posted a video to his Twitter account on Saturday that showed him balancing a glass of water while he swam in a backyard pool.<\/p>\n<p>Ledecky&#8217;s feat was mesmerizing and has prompted copycat efforts, with Spitz taking part in the fun at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/happy-birthday-mark-spitz-seven-golds-superstar-turns-70-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">70 years old<\/a>. With the COVID-19 pandemic postponing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Olympic Games<\/a> in Tokyo to 2021, it has been nice to see some big-name swimmers enjoy themselves, and give fans of the sport something to smile about.<\/p>\n<p>After completing his length of the pool, Spitz removes the glass from his head, pours the water into the pool and states, &#8220;I did it.&#8221; Was there really any doubt one of the best swimmers in the history of the sport could pull it off?<\/p>\n<p>This summer marks the 48th anniversary of Spitz winning seven gold medals and setting seven world records at the 1972 Olympics. During that meet, Spitz won individual titles in the 100 freestyle, 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 200 butterfly, and contributed to three triumphant American relays. Four years earlier, Spitz won four medals at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.<\/p>\n<p>Spitz&#8217;s name recently appeared frequently during Swimming World&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/league-of-legends-overall-stroke-podiums-phelps-tops-spitz-matthes-thorpe-snap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">League of Olympic Legends<\/a> series, in which we looked at the greatest performers in each event over the years. In the overall scoring, Spitz finished in the second position, behind <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong>. It was Phelps, of course, who broke Spitz&#8217;s record by winning eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"oembed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZGZlJ4TiBK\">pic.twitter.com\/ZGZlJ4TiBK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mark Spitz (@markspitzusa) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/markspitzusa\/status\/1292250036076605441?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Spitz Shows He Still Has It by Following Katie Ledecky&#8217;s Balancing Act Nearly 50 years after he made Olympic history at the 1972 Games in Munich, Mark Spitz still<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":393670,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[122077],"tags":[25031,616],"class_list":["post-443349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas","tag-katie-ledecky","tag-mark-spitz"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
