In 1972, in Munich, Bavaria, members of the Palestinian terrorist group, Black September, took advantage of lax security at the Summer Olympics, entering the Olympic village with ease, dressed in tracksuits and carrying their ammunition in gym bags.

Members of the Israeli team were taken hostage, and eventually killed. Numbering 11 athletes, they were robbed of their chance to compete. An Israeli coach and a West German police officer were also killed in the ensuing massacre.

The free flashfiction, 'Olympic Honour' explores a character related to one of the terrorists who disagrees with their actions. She defects to another country to start a new life but remains plagued by her family's past. How will she achieve redemption? How would you feel if you were related to one of those terrorists?

Israeli Yossef Romano, 31, was the first of the athletes to be killed, grabbing a gun from one of the intruders, only to be killed by another.
