The 1930s were marked by division and political strife in sports, with the Workers' Sports Federation organizing events at Dælenenga and Jordal in East Oslo. The left-wing sports movement was international and revolutionary, while the bourgeois sports movement was oriented towards traditional national values. Norway participated in the Berlin Olympics despite protests, and their Olympic team members arrived in Berlin as the last foreign team. Germany was the best nation at the event, but Norway received a gold medal in shooting and a bronze medal in football, which continues to be a source of pride for football enthusiasts in the country to this day. The People's Olympics in Barcelona was canceled due to the Spanish civil war. The Berlin Olympics were a great sporting success and marked several new media-technical innovations, but the opening ceremony had a military and religious tone. The event was also marked by protest actions and demands for boycott, but more nations and athletes marched in front of the honor stand than ever before.
