The Philippines made its Olympic debut during the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris, France with David Nepomuceno as the sole participant, competing in the Men's 100 metres and 200 metres athletic events. In the next Olympic Games at Amsterdam, Netherlands, the commonwealth won its first medal when swimmer Teófilo Yldefonso finished third at the Men's 200 metre breaststroke aquatic event. In the Los Angeles 1932 Olympics, the country was awarded three bronze medals, the most fruitful for the Filipinos until 2020. It was even said that Los Angeles' weather helped the athletes, as it was comparatively the same as that of the Philippines. The country would win another bronze medal at Berlin 1936 courtesy of Miguel White in the Men's 400 metre hurdles athletic event.
