George Spitz was the favourite after clearing higher than than 2m on five occasions in 1932, all of them indoors. In the US Championships, he tied with 18 year-old schoolboy Cornelius Johnson, and Bob Van Osdel, but then injured his ankle. He missed at 1.90 and placed equal ninth, leaving Toribio as the principal “eastern cut-off” jumper left in the field. As the bar rose to 2.007 just four men were left – Van Osdel, Johnson, Toribio and the unheralded Duncan McNaughton, a teammate of Van Osdel at the University of Southern California. McNaughton had lobbied the Canadian Olympic Association to allow him to compete, and only overcame their refusals by nagging them further when the Canadian team arrived in Los Angeles. None of the jumpers could clear 2.007 and Van Osdel would have won from Johnson and McNaughton on today’s rules. However under 1932 rules a jump-off was required. McNaughton was the first to clear 1.97, after receiving advice from Van Osdel, and so won the gold, with Van Osdel and Toribio taking the lesser medals.
