Michael Eugene Stamm (born August 6, 1952) is an American former backstroke swimmer who earned a gold medal as a member of the winning U.S. team in the men's 4×100-meter medley relay at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.[1] At the 1972 Olympics, the 20-year-old Stamm also won individual silver medals in the 100-meter and in the 200-meter backstroke.
At that time, Stamm was the second-best backstroker in the world, behind East German Roland Matthes. Stamm briefly broke Matthes' world record in the 200-meter backstroke in 1970, but Matthes reclaimed it just three weeks later.
He graduated from Crawford High School.[2] Stamm was coached by James Counsilman at Indiana University.
