The third Winter Olympics, in 1932, were held in Lake Placid, New York State, a town of fewer than 4,000 people. Faced with major obstacles raising money in the midst of a depression, the president of the organizing committee, Dr. Godfrey Dewey, donated land owned by his family to be used for construction of a bobsleigh run. Sonja Henie defended her figure skating title, as did the French pair of Andrée and Pierre Brunet. However Gillis Grafström was thwarted in his attempt at winning a fourth gold medal, placing second behind Austrian Karl Schäfer. Billy Fiske of the United States won a second gold medal in the four-man bobsleigh. One member of Fiske's team was Eddie Eagan, who had won the light-heavyweight boxing championship at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics. Eagan remains the only person in Olympic history to earn gold medals in both Summer and Winter sports.
第三届冬季奥运会于1932年在美国纽约州的一个不到4000人的小镇普莱西德湖举行，这是冬季奥运会自从1924年举办以来，首次来到美洲大陆。由于刚刚经历了一场全球范围的经济大萧条，这届奥运会的筹办工作受到了极大的经济困扰。组委会主席杜威（Godfrey Dewey）捐出自己家族的一块地，做为兴建雪橇比赛车道之用。在这届奥运会的女子花样滑冰比赛中，挪威选手索尼娅赫妮成功卫冕；此外在花样滑冰双人项目中，法国组合安布吕内和皮布吕内也成功卫冕夺得金牌。
