The 1984 Summer Olympics were an international multi-sport event held from July 28 to August 12, 1984, in Los Angeles, California, United States. It marked the second time that Los Angeles had hosted the Games, the first being in 1932. This was the first of two consecutive Olympic Games to be held in North America with Calgary, Alberta, Canada hosting the 1988 Winter Olympics. California was the home state of the incumbent U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who officially opened the Games. These were the first Summer Olympic Games under the IOC presidency of Juan Antonio Samaranch.
The Judo competition at the 1984 Summer Olympics continued the seven weight classes first used at the 1980 Games. With the open division, there were eight competitions. Powerhouse Japan returned to the top of the medal count after eight years, having boycotted the Moscow games. Because of the Soviet-led boycott of the Los Angeles games, several traditionally strong judo countries, including Cuba and the Soviet Union, did not participate. The Judo competition was held at California State University, Los Angeles.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The games marked the country's first appearance under its current moniker; in 1968, it was represented as Congo-Kinshasa, and from 1984 to 1996, it was represented as Zaire.
Zaire competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. The 1996 games marked the country's last appearance under the name Zaire; the following year, president Mobutu Sese Seko was deposed in the First Congo War and the nation reverted to its previous name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
