The Games of the X Olympiad were held in 1932 in Los Angeles, United States. No other cities made a bid to host these Olympics.
- Held during a worldwide economic crisis, many nations or athletes were unable to pay the trip to Los Angeles, and less than half of the number of participants from Amsterdam showed up.
- An Olympic Village[?] was built for the first time, occupied by the male athletes.
- Babe Didrikson[?] wins two gold medals in the javelin throw and the hurdles event, and only loses a third in the high jump because her jumping technique is ruled inferior and is placed second.
- In field hockey, only three nations take part. The host nation loses 1-24 to India and 2-9 to Japan but wins a bronze medal anyway.
- Finnish star Paavo Nurmi is barred from competing in the Olympic for being a professional.
- Eddie Tolan wins both the 100 and 200 m sprint events.
- Helene Madison[?] wins three gold medals in swimming, while the Japanese upset the men's events and take all but one title.
