1972

In 1972 he won the 100 and 200 metres sprint events at the Olympic Games in Munich.

At the 1972 Munich Olympics, two American favourites and world record holders, Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson, missed the 100 m quarterfinals due to a misunderstanding about the starting time of the heats.

Borzov won the 100 m sprint with relative ease in a time of 10.14 seconds.

Borzov then won the 200 m in great style.

He also won silver as part of the Soviet 4 × 100 relay team, leaving Munich with three medals and the title of the fastest human in the world.

Between the 1972 and the 1976 Olympics, Borzov spent more time on his studies and soccer.
