The Moscow Olympics, held in 1980, were marked by a significant boycott led by the United States in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Approximately 65 countries, including the U.S., withdrew from the Games, significantly impacting the event's participation and competition level. Despite the boycott, the Olympics proceeded, with the Soviet Union winning the most medals, and the Games were characterized by a strong display of Soviet Propaganda. The political tension of the time overshadowed the athletic achievements and spirit of the competition.
