"The 1932 Los Angeles Games proved to be the most spectacular in history, with the sheer size and quality of the city’s Coliseum Olympic Stadium wowing the crowds and the world’s media. It was also the Games that introduced many of the Olympic traditions that continue today, including the tiered victory podium on which the three medallists stand to receive their awards. Los Angeles was also the first Games to see the gold medallist honoured with the raising of his national flag and the playing of his national anthem during the presentation."
