Sporting event delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While many nations boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet-controlled government of Afghanistan sent a team to Moscow. Afghanistan had previously boycotted the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.[1]
