The XXII Summer Olympic Games of 1980 (the official name is the Games of the XXII Olympiad) were held in Moscow, the capital of the USSR, from July 19 to August 3, 1980. These were the first ever Olympic Games in Eastern Europe, as well as the first Olympic Games held in a socialist country. Part of the competitions of the 1980 Olympics were held in other cities of the Soviet Union, namely: the sailing regatta started in Tallinn (ESR); the preliminary games and quarterfinals of the football tournament were held in Kiev (USSR), Leningrad (RSFSR) and Minsk (BSSR); the shooting competitions were held at the Dynamo shooting range in Mytishchi near Moscow (RSFSR). The Games are also known for the fact that more than 60 countries boycotted the Olympics in connection with the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan in 1979. Some athletes from the countries that boycotted the Games still came to Moscow and performed under the Olympic flag. The previous one was the boycott by 29 African countries of the Olympic Games-76 in Montreal, and the next was the boycott by the Soviet Union and 13 other countries of the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984.
