Michael Gross
West German swimmer Michael Gross won two gold medals at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California, and another at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He was nicknamed the Albatross because of his large arm span. He is seen here swimming the 100-meter butterfly during the 1984 Games.
