The United States was the host nation of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. It was the nineteenth time that "Team USA" participated, having boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics.

These Olympic Games were unique for the United States in that the host state was California, the home state of the country's president, Ronald Reagan, who himself opened the Games, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3J5U8tnVb2A&feature=related] becoming the first American president to open a Summer Olympics, and also any Olympic games in the United States. Reagan was governor of the state from 1967 to 1975.

However, it was not until the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City that an American president opened a Winter Olympics in the United States.

Medalists
