Israeli Olympic team members killed by Palestinian gunmen at the 1972 Munich Olympics were remembered during the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony on Friday with a moment of silence, the first time in 49 years this has happened. The families of the 11 killed had long asked the International Olympic Committee to hold a minute`s silence at a Games opening ceremony but had been turned down for almost half a century.
