Sporting event delegation
Canada competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles , United States , held from 28 July to 12 August 1984. Canada returned to the Summer Games after having participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics . 408 competitors, 257 men and 151 women, took part in 193 events in 23 sports.[ 1]
Partly due to the Soviet Union -led boycott of these Games, Canada enjoyed its best-ever results at the Summer Games, coming in sixth place in the number of Gold medals won, and fourth place in the total medals won - double their second best total in 1996 and 2016 .
