Los Angeles boasts a successful history of hosting the Games in 1932 and 1984, with 1984 being particularly momentous for U.S. gymnastics.
In 1932, Italy won the men's team competition and Romeo Neri of Italy won the men's individual all-around competition. Women's gymnastics did not become an Olympic sport until 1952.
In 1984, Romania won the women's team competition, with USA coming in second. Mary Lou Retton took the individual all-around gold after her historic perfect 10s on floor and vault. On the men's side, USA won the team gold and Koji Gushiken of Japan took the individual all-around gold.
