Valeriy Pylypovych Borzov (Ukrainian: Валерій Пилипович Борзов, Russian: Валерий Филиппович Борзов, Valeriy Filippovich Borzov; born October 20, 1949) is a Ukrainian athlete of Soviet Union, an Olympian, former president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine, and Minister for Youth and Sports of Ukraine.

In 1972 he won both the 100 m and 200 m sprint events for the Soviet Union at the Olympic Games in Munich.

Born in Sambir, Drohobych Oblast, Soviet Union, Borzov started his track and field career in 1968. He became a household name in the Track and Field circles after having won the sprint-double at the 1971 European Championships in Helsinki. He had already won the 100 m championship in 1969, when he equalled Armin Hary's nine year-old European record of 10.0 seconds.

At the 1972 Munich Olympics, two of the American favorites, Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson, missed the 100 m quarterfinals due to a misunderstanding about the starting time of the heats. Their times in the trials were both 9.9 with Eddie Hart just ahead. After Borzov had won the 100 m sprint with relative ease in a time of 10.14 seconds, the Americans promised they would beat Borzov in the 200 m competition.

Larry Jeffery ("Mutt") Black (July 20, 1951 – February 8, 2006) was an American athlete, winner of the gold medal in the 4 x 100 m relay and silver medal in the 200 m at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

Born in Miami, Florida, graduating from Miami Killian Senior High with a scholarship to North Carolina Central University, Larry Black won, as a North Carolina Central University student, the NCAA 220 yd (200 m) championships in 1971.

At the 1972 Olympics, Black ran the opening leg in the American 4 x 100 m relay team. The team won a gold medal and equalled the United States' own world record of 38.19 seconds. Ironically, his cousin Gerald Tinker, also from the Miami area (Coral Gables High School), ran the third leg in that same gold medal winning race.

Gerald Alexander Tinker (born January 19, 1951) is a former track athlete and American football player, winner of gold medal in th 4 x 100 metres relay at the 1972 Summer Olympics.

Gerald Tinker attended Coral Gables High School in Miami, Florida where he excelled as a football and track athlete.

At the München Olympics, Gerald Tinker ran the third leg in the American 4 x 100 metres relay team, which won a gold medal and equalled the United States' own world record of 38.19. Ironically, his cousin, Larry Black, also ran a leg in that same relay. Larry Black attended Miami Killian High School where he also was a track star. His school was a football rival of Coral Gables Senior High School that Gerald attended. Despite that, both teamed up to help win Olympic Gold.

After the Olympics, Tinker was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2nd round (44th overall) of the 1974 NFL Draft as wide receiver. He played for the Falcons (1974–1975) and the Green Bay Packers (1975).
