The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as Games of the X Olympiad, were held in Los Angeles, United States.^[2]

Takeichi Nishi became notable when he won an equestrian gold medal at the 1932 games

U.S. President Herbert Hoover did not attend the games. Despite this snub, the games were thought to be a success because the LA Olympics did not end up in debt.^[3]

Los Angeles was the first to provide an athletes' "village".^[3]
