Canadian high jumper Duncan McNaughton, winner of
a gold medal at the IXth Summer Olympic Games, Los Angeles, 1932, photographer unknown
High jumper Duncan McNaughton (1910-1998) won the gold
medal in the high jump at the 1932 Los Angeles Games with a jump of 1.97 metres. Interestingly, McNaughton
had not participated in the Canadian Olympic trials and was allowed to be a last minute addition to the
Canadian team only because he was living and attending school on an athletic scholarship in Los Angeles.
