		Dave Wottle (born August 7, 1950) is a former American athlete, winner of 800 m at the 1972 Summer Olympics.
		Born in Canton, Ohio, Dave Wottle is probably better known for wearing his old golf headgear while competing than for his track exploits.
		In the Olympic 800 m final, Wottle immediately dropped to the rear of the field, and stayed there for the first 600 m, at which point he started to pass runner after runner up the straight, and finally grabbing the lead in the final metres to win by just 0.03 seconds.

		Wottle also competed in the 1500m at Munich but he was eliminated in the semi-finals.

		When Dave Wottle talks about his time at the 1972 Munich Games, he sounds like a kid in a candy store.
		Another, albeit less fond, memory Wottle took from Munich is that of the terrorist attacks.
		Although Wottle had already competed in the 800m, he was still preparing for the 1500m, and says that despite the turmoil unfolding around him, he had to remain focused as long as the Games were still on.

		Dave Wottle crosses the finish line in a time of 1:45.86 in the 800-meter finals at the 1972 Olympics in Munich as Evgeny Arzhanov of the Soviet Union falls to the ground.
		Wottle, who also serves as the head of financial aid at the Memphis school where he has worked for the last 17 years, said the 800-meter race, the Olympic gold medal, the golf cap - those are all frequent topics of discussion when he meets the parents of prospective Rhodes College students.
		Wottle was a guest speaker at a coaching friend's summer camp recently, and when his host asked the gathering of 200-300 high school distance runners how many of them had heard of Dave Wottle, not a single hand went up.

	The Memphis Flyer: Sports - April 23, 1998
		Having recently set the school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 5,000-meter run, Wottle is beginning to emerge from the shadow cast by his father, Olympic gold medalist Dave Wottle, who took the world’s top prize in 1972 in the 800-meter.
		Wottle credits Rhodes assistant coach Brendan Minihan, the previous school record-holder in both the steeplechase and the 5,000.
		Wottle and many of Rhodes’ top performers are juniors, leading to speculation that next year could be even better for both the school’s track-and-field and cross-country teams.

		The facts were that in the last 40 years, only one white American, Dave Wottle, had won an Olympic gold medal in an event on the track.
		At the birthplace of the Olympics, where the ancient Greeks hoped the barriers of nationalism could be diminished through the brotherhood of athletic competition, Jeremy Wariner, a lanky 20-year-old from Grand Prairie, Texas, shattered one of America's long-standing racial stereotypes by winning the 400 meters at the 2004 Olympics.
