1980 Summer Olympics were held in Moscow. The Soviet Union had the most medals with 195, followed by E. Germany with 126 and Bulgaria with 41. The US boycotted the event, along with 64 other countries because the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan a year earlier.

Moscow
The 1980 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad, were held in Moscow in the Soviet Union. Another candidate in the bid to organize the Olympics was Los Angeles. The choice between them was made on October 23, 1974 in the 75th IOC session. Moscow defeated Los Angeles by 39 votes to 20. The yachting events were held in Tallinn; preliminary matches and the quarter-finals of the football (soccer) tournament were held, besides Moscow, at the stadiums of Leningrad, Kiev, and Minsk.
