The United States boycotted the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, but the Games went on without them. NBC technically held the rights to air the Olympics, but their stateside coverage was reduced to a few mere minutes a day. The Moscow Olympics essentially went on without anyone in the United States knowing or caring. As a result, for all the countries who did participate, all their accomplishments, all their records, all their scores, and all their games were forgotten.This history is an attempt to remedy this problem, presenting a closer look at the competitions, events, and athletes for those who did compete in the Games, recording every score, time, and distance of each medalist. It also tells many untold stories of the Games, including a food fight in the Olympic Village, a pirated TV signal in Florida, the arrest of the rainbow-wigged John 3:16 activist, and the tales of two Jimmy Carters. While the 1980 Summer Games were forgotten in the United States, this book endeavors to show that they were truly unforgettable.
