The 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany, aka the "Hitler Olympics", should be considered. With World War II looming and many countries considering a boycott of the Olympics, these Olympics had many storylines. Top that off with Jesse Owens winning 4 gold medals and disproving Hitler's claim of Aryan supremacy, then these may be the most famous Olympic Games. There are also the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles that were the first-ever Olympic Games to see an overall profit. The 1984 Games in LA ended with a surplus of almost $250 million, which is unheard-of when talking about cities that have hosted the Olympics in the past.
