Yugoslavia - 1932

Officially the Yugoslav Olympic Committee did not register any of its athletes for the Los Angles Games, nor did it register doctor Veljko Narančić, who competed in the discus throw and ranked 17th with 36,51 m among 18 participants from 11 countries.
Narančić was registered by Milivoje Naumović, the Yugoslav consul in San Francisco, and the Organising Committee accepted the application after Sigfrid Edstrom, the president of the International Amateur Athletic Federation, gave his consent.
Thanks to this breach of Olympic rules, Yugoslavia kept the continuity of participation in the Summer Olympic Games from 1912 to 2000.
