The 1984 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIII Olympiad, were a summer multi-sport event held in Los Angeles, California, United States, from July 28 to August 12. A total of 6,829 athletes from 140 nations participated in 221 events in 21 sports.[1][2]

Overall, 47 nations received at least one medal, and 25 of them won at least one gold medal. Athletes from host nation United States won the most medals overall, with 174, and the most gold medals, with 83.[3][4] The former record was the largest overall medal haul for the nation since the 1904 edition; the latter record was the highest gold medal tally at a single Games in Olympic history and the most for a host nation.[5][a] It marked the first time the United States led the medal count in both gold and overall medals since 1968.[7] Sports commentators noted that the absence of the Soviet Union and various other Eastern Bloc nations stemming from a boycott contributed to the highly skewed medal results benefitting the United States and other countries.[6] Romania won the second most gold medals (20) and the third most total medals (53), marking its highest medal tally in history.[8][9][10] West Germany won the third most gold medals, with 17, and the second most total medals, with 59.[8][7]

Runner Carl Lewis and gymnast Ecaterina Szabo won the most gold medals at the games with four each.[11] Gymnast Li Ning won the greatest number of medals overall, winning six in total.[12] Morocco and Portugal won their first Olympic gold medals.[13][14] Algeria, Dominican Republic, Ivory Coast, Syria, and Zambia won their nation's first Olympic medals.[15]
