The 1932 Winter Olympics were held in Lake Placid, New York, the first Winter Games held in the United States, taking place during the Great Depression, which reduced both the number of participating athletes and nations compared to earlier editions. American speed skater Jack Shea and Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie were among the standout competitors of the Games. Financial hardship led the organizers to seek loans from local businesses to complete construction of the venues.
