Editing 1928 Summer Olympics (section)

== Host city selection ==
Dutch nobleman Frederik van [[Tuyll]] van Serooskerken first proposed Amsterdam as the host city for the [[Summer Olympic Games]] in 1912, even before the [[NOC*NSF|Netherlands Olympic Committee]] was established.

The Olympic Games were canceled in 1916 due to [[World War&nbsp;I]]. In 1919, the Netherlands Olympic Committee abandoned the proposal of Amsterdam in favor of their support for the nomination of [[Antwerp]] as host city for the [[1920 Summer Olympics]]. In 1921, [[Paris]] was selected for the [[1924 Summer Olympics]] on the condition that the 1928 Summer Olympics would be organized in Amsterdam. This decision, supported by the Netherlands Olympic Committee, was announced by the [[International Olympic Committee]] (IOC) on 2&nbsp;June 1921.

[[Los Angeles]]' bid for the 1928 Summer Olympics was unsuccessful in 1922 and again in 1923.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1923/04/06/archives/america-bids-for-games-olympics-of-1928-may-be-held-in-this-country.html|title=America Bids for Games: Olympics of 1928 May be Held in This Country|url-access=subscription|date=6 April 1923|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|page=15}}</ref> The city was eventually selected as host city for the [[1932 Summer Olympics]], being the only bidder for that year.<ref name="official report" />{{rp|p.915}}
