| I was thinking of doing a similar quiz. Check my quiz about the countries that actually competed at the 1980 Olympics. |

| That must've been crowded, on the 1980's Olympics... As if it's not bad enough that almost all American, African and Asian countries cancel, but then Fiji doesn't show up either? |

| Why are the 1980 countries in alphabetical order, but the 1984 countries in...whatever order that is? A little inconsistent. |

| And yet what countries are boycotting the London Olympics? Britain joined America in invading Iraq and Afghanistan, but no country is using the Olympics to mount a protest. Instead we're expected to shut up and watch this corporate festival of running and jumping. |

| It's nice for once not to have to try to remember each individual Soviet nation and just type "USSR", lumping them into a neat not-so-little package. |

| Boycotting the 1980 Olympics was the only good thing Jimmy Carter ever did! |

| I guessed New Zealand as I thought they boycotted in 1980, but apparently a total of 4 competitors competed under the banner of their National Olympic Committee. None of these were in track and field, my own area of expert knowledge. |

| I was the moron who didn't guess USA, USSR or Canada. Got most of the rest though. I think it's time to walk away from Sporcle for a few hours. |
