The U.S. Olympic team for running in 1980 was notably affected by the boycott of the Moscow Games due to political tensions. Athletes who qualified, such as distance runners Frank Shorter and Joan Benoit, were unable to compete. While the team was selected, the boycott meant that many of the qualified athletes never had the opportunity to represent the U.S. at the Olympics that year.
