歷屆奧運(yùn)會回顧：1932年美國奧運(yùn)會

本屆奧運(yùn)會于1932年7月30日開幕，8月14日結(jié)束。由于當(dāng)時(shí)歐美國家都正處于經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條期，而賽址又遠(yuǎn)在美國西海岸，因此參加本屆奧運(yùn)會的運(yùn)動員人數(shù)還不及上屆阿姆斯特丹奧運(yùn)會時(shí)的一半。此次的參賽國家共37個(gè)，其中首次參加的有中國和哥倫比亞。

LOS ANGELES  1932 Games of the X Olympiad

Because the 1932 Olympics were held in the middle of the Great Depression and in the comparatively remote city of Los Angeles, half as many athletes took part as had in 1928. Nevertheless, the level of competition was extremely high and 18 world records were either broken or equalled. The crowds set records too, starting with the 100,000 people who attended the Opening Ceremony.

The 1932 Olympics were the first to last 16 days. The duration of the Olympics has remained between 15 and 18 days ever since. Between 1900 and 1928, no Summer Olympics was shorter than 79 days. For the first time, the male athletes were housed in a single Olympic Village. (The women stayed in a luxury hotel.) At the victory ceremonies, the medal winners stood on a victory stand and the flag of the winner was raised.

Official automatic timing was introduced for the track events, as was the photo-finish camera. 14-year-old Japanese Kusuo Kitamura won the 1,500m freestyle to become the youngest male in any sport ever to earn a gold medal in an individual event. 21-year-old American Babe Didrikson qualified for all five women's track and field events, but was only allowed to compete in three. She won the javelin throw and set world records in the high jump and the 80m hurdles.
