[edit] Summary
Map of olympic boycotts of 1976, 1980 and 1984. Countries which went to all three games are shown in black. The source for the info on the 76 and 84 boycotting countries was the wikipedia pages on the respective olympics. The source for the 1980 info was old TIME magazine archives available online from 1980 and the list on w:American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics.
Note that data on countries which boycotted the 1980 games is incomplete - Of the 64/65 countries which boycotted those games, there are about 10 more countries than shown here which boycotted them - these would be made up from either those shown in yellow or in grey here.
For maps showing all the countries which participated in these games, see 1976, 1980 and 1984
On the map, there should be another category for countries that boycotted both "1980 & 1984" Olympic Games, such country is Iran. Iran participated in 1976 Olympic Games but boycotted 1980 Olympic Games as well as 1984 Olympic Games. The map needs to be modified to show a new color for that category.
The map does not show the fact that the People's Republic of China boycotted the 1976 games.
Also, the map does not show the fact that Cuba et North Korea boycotted the 1988 games in Seoul. Pyongyang did not send a team, because the South Korean Olympic Committee refused the request of North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung to hold some events in his country. The North Korean regime spent a fortune to build new stadiums and venues for the games which would eventually be used during the Youth World Games a year later. Cuba's Castro regime supported North Korea's boycott for communist sympathy reasons.
