The 1984 Summer Olympics were held in Los Angeles, California, and were boycotted by the Soviet Union and most of the Eastern Bloc in a retaliatory response to the 1980 US-led boycott. Organized primarily with private and corporate funding rather than public money, the Games produced a substantial financial surplus, a notable departure from many previous hosts, and are often credited with restoring the commercial viability of the modern Olympics. American sprinter and long jumper Carl Lewis won four gold medals, matching Jesse Owens' feat from 1936.
