The United States participated in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—the "Nazi Olympics"—sending the largest delegation of any country (312 athletes) to Germany. Not every athlete who qualified for the team chose to go, however. Track and field athletes Milton Green, Norman Cahners, and Lillian Copeland chose not to go. Syd Koff, winner of four gold medals at the Maccabean games in 1932, was eligible to compete in the high jump and the broad jump yet decided not to go to Berlin. Syd (born Sybil Tabachnikoff) who as a girl had to sneak out of her parents' home to participate in track and field events, never won an Olympic medal.
