1932 Summer Olympics - Medalists

The 1932 Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the X Olympiad and also known as Los Angeles 1932) were an international multi-sport event held from 30th July 30 to 14th August 1932, in Los Angeles, California, United States. The Games were held during the worldwide Great Depression, with some nations not traveling to Los Angeles.

An Olympic Village was built for the first time and became a model for future games, in Baldwin Hills, occupied by male athletes. Female athletes were housed at the Chapman Park Hotel on Wilshire Boulevard.

The victory podium was used for the first time at the summer games (a podium was also used earlier in the year at the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid).

An Olympic mascot, Scottish Terrier Smoky, was featured for the first time in history. According to legend, Smoky wandered into the athletes' village one day (some tales hold he was born there) and quickly became so popular he was unofficially anointed the symbol of the Games.
