The 1980 Summer Olympics officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad were

held July 19 to August 3, 1980 in Moscow in the Soviet Union. In addition, the yachting events were held in Tallinn, and some of the preliminary matches and the quarter-finals of the football tournament were held in Leningrad, Kiev, and Minsk. The 1980 Games were the first to be staged in Eastern Europe.

The United States and a number of other countries boycotted the games because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, though some athletes from some the boycotting countries participated in the games, under the Olympic Flag. This prompted the Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics.

The only two cities to bid for the 1980 Summer Olympics were Moscow and Los Angeles. The choice between them was made on October 23, 1974 in the 75th IOC Session in Vienna, Austria.

There were: 80 NOC’s; 5 179 athletes (1115 women and 4064 men); 203 events in 21 sports.

LOGO

POSTER

The official emblem was created by Vladimir Arsentyev. Above the Olympic rings we find parallel lines in the shape of a pyramid, and a five pointed star which serves as a reminder of the flag of the Kremlin.

It featured the emblem of the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow: a section of a running track rising into an architectural silhouette typical of Moscow and a five-pointed star topping the silhouette.

MEDAL On the obverse, the traditional Olympic symbol of victory: the

goddess Nike holding a laurel wreath; in the lower right-hand corner, a fragment of the colosseum, above it, the inscription in Cyrillic “Igry XXII Olimpiady Moskva 1980” (Games of the XXII Olympiad Moscow 1980). On the reverse, a stylised Olympic Bowl with a burning flame (not burning a burning flame) against the background of a stadium arena. The upper right-hand segment, carries the insignia of the Moscow Olympics. The name of the sport appears on the rim.
