The 1936 Olympics held in Nazi Germany was weird for a number of
reasons (fascism has a tendency to do that) but perhaps one of the
weirder aspects fell under the "Arts Competition" (not sure when
they dropped that competition area) was "Town Planning" which was
an Olympic Event from 1924 to 1948.  But, not to worry, the U.S.
won the Silver medal in 1936; see:

Personally, I prefer women's beach volleyball.
