Sell Your Bronze 1932 Los Angeles Olympics Medal
The Summer Olympics of 1932 took place in in Los Angeles, California. The games coincided with the Great Depression. As a result some countries could not afford to attend. Over 1,300 athletes from 37 countries attended, which was significantly lower participation than turnout of the 1928 Summer Olympics. Herbert Hoover, the U.S. President at the time, did not even make an appearance. Some firsts of these games include the use of a victory podium and the first construction of an Olympic Village, which set the precedent for subsequent Olympics.
