' ' TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS — MEN HREE hundred and thirty men, representing thirty-four nations, took part in the twenty-three events comprising the Athletics programme of the TGames of the Xth Olympiad. When the hnal event was concluded and the champion stood at attention on the Victory pedestal while the flag of his country was unfurled over Olympic Stadium, twenty new Olympic or World's records had been established. The responsibility for the many record-breaking performances has been generally attributed to a combination of circumstances, including the fine mental and physical condition of the athletes due to pleasant surroundings in the Olympic Village, the adequate training facilities, favorable weather conditions, excellent Track and Field facilities, and to the enthusiastic and sportsmanlike attitude of the spectators. In addition, the quality of performance of the athletes was improved because many of the tiring preliminary heats could be eliminated. This was made pos sible, first, by the ruling of the Olympic Congress, Berlin, 1930, reducing the number of entries in each sport from each country from four to three, and second, by the factor of the expense and time involved in making the long trip to Los 377 Source : Bibliothèque du CIO / IOC Library TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETICS—^MEN XTH OLYMPIAD LOS ANGELES 1932 Angeles, which resulted in the teams representing the nations being limited and The existing Olympic record of 21.6 seconds for the 200 Metres was beaten necessarily more carefully selected. on seven different occasions by the winners of heats or finals, in many of these All of the events in Athletics, with the exception of the Marathon and the races the men finishing second, and sometimes third, also surpassing the previous mark. -

Introduction
INTRODUCTION The U.S. Olympic Trials is the best national track meet in the world, and there is no athletics meeting quite like the Trials. The Olympic Games and World Championships may have a higher overall standard of performance, but no national track championships can compare in terms of quality. It is not merely a question of statistical performance; the qualification process for the Olympics is more intense for Americans. Other nations generally use their Trials plus the seasonal record of top athletes, but there are very few instances of the sud- den-death form of selection that the USA uses. Make the top-three in your event, and you are on the team. Have a slightly off day, and you are out. The history of the sport is strewn with the debris of world record holders who missed out on Olympic glory because they made a mistake or were ill during the Olympic Trials. For many participants making the USA team is more of a problem than winning an Olympic medal, and the result is that the Olympic Trials have an element of drama that is beyond the scope of even the Olympic Games. The structure of the U.S. Olympic Trials has changed and developed since the first meetings in 1908. Prior to that year there was no elimination process. The presence of athletes at the Olympics between 1896 and 1906 was due primarily to certain colleges and clubs, as well as individual athletes. Princeton and the Boston Athletic Association, plus an individual entry - James Connolly of Harvard, the first gold medallist of the modern Olympics - were the initial representatives of the USA in the Athens Games.
