Damn, landing the pole vault back then looked pretty treacherous.

Dr Pat O'Callaghan became the first person representing Ireland to successfully defend his Olympic title, having also won the Hammer throw in Amsterdam. This feat was not repeated until the Paris 2024 Olympics when first the rowers O'Donovan and McCarthy and then the boxer Kelly Harrington successfully defended their titles first won in Tokyo in 2021. If either Daniel Wiffen or Rhys McClenaghan win in LA in 2028, they will become the first individual Irishman to successfully defend their Olympic title since 1932.

Out of all the sporting footage that I have seen from this era they never show any cycling. Before WWll track bike racing was one of the most popular sports in America. If you have any footage I would love to see some.

Eddie Tolan deserved much better than Michigan gave him! He deserved much better than the USA gave him and his family!

Here after watching a 1936 Olympics (Nazi germany hosted) documentary. Highly recommend. Super interesting. It's called Hitlers Olympics and is here on YT. 😊

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Me. A bit late though

[@bootsguy5155]

Where is the Philippines? Why there is no Philippines in the opening Parade of Nations?

[@suomenpresidentti]

Not Jarvenin but Järvinen...

[@warrenermish1454]

That somber music ruined the video

[@tooleyheadbang4239]

Absolutely. The olympics are a celebration, not a nightmare.

[@tooleyheadbang4239]

In 1984, a simulated TV broadcast of the Los Angeles 1932 Olympics was made. Does anyone remember it?

[@jordanjohnson9866]

Yes. /

[@tooleyheadbang4239]

@@jordanjohnson9866 Thanks. I was starting to think I'd dreamed it.

Rising hands after winning wasn't invented yet. Or was forbidden?
