Sovjetunionen initierade en bojkott bland de socialistiska staterna. Den officiella orsaken till bojkotten var att arrangörerna vägrade att lämna säkerhetsgarantier till olympiska deltagarna från Sovjetunionen och andra länder inom Warszawapakten. Många i västvärlden betraktade bojkotten som en hämnd för västbojkotten vid Moskva-OS. Trots bojkotten deltog inte mindre än 140 nationer, men bland de 14 stater som uteblev var starka idrottsnationer som Sovjetunionen, Östtyskland, Kuba, Polen, Tjeckoslovakien, Bulgarien och Ungern vilket påverkade resultatnivån i många idrottsgrenar. Rumänien var det enda större östland som valde att deltaga.
Olympiska sommarspelen var under 1970-talet och 1980-talet svårt drabbade av diverse politiska bojkotter.
Sovjetunionen ledde en bojkott som svar mot den av USA ledda bojkotten mot spelen i Moskva fyra år tidigare. Tre länder med kommunistiskt styre deltog trots detta i spelen i Los Angeles. Jugoslavien som höll i vinterspelen tidigare samma år i Sarajevo, Folkrepubliken Kina och Rumänien. Att Rumänien som var en del av Warzawapakten trotsade Sovjetunionen och skickade en trupp ledde till ett varmt mottagande av rumänerna i Los Angeles.
Sovjetunionen ledde en bojkott mot spelen 1984 som ett svar på den av USA ledda bojkotten mot spelen i Moskva1980 som de initierade på grund av den sovjetiska invasionen av Afghanistan 1979. Fjorton länder deltog i bojkotten, de flesta var kommunistiskt styrda. Ytterligare två länder, Iran och Libyen, bojkottade spelen av politiska skäl, men var inte den del av den sovjetiska bojkotten.

Flag of South Korea (1984–1997).svg Flag of South Korea from 21 February 1984 to 15 October 1997, when the exact colors were specified into their shades.
Flag of the Dominican Republic.svg Den Dominikanska republikens flagga består av ett vitt centrerat kors som sträcker sig hela vägen ut till flaggans kant. I mitten på korset sitter ett emblem med en bibel, ett gyllene kors och sex dominikanska flaggor. Emblemet är omgivet av olivkvistar och palmblad. Under emblemet står ”Republica Dominicana” och ovanför ett band med landets mottot ”Dios, Patria, Libertad” (”Gud, Landet, Frihet”).
Flag of Egypt (1972-1984).svg The Egyptian flag (1972-1984). Also the flag of Libya (1972-1977) and Syria (1972-1980), when the three countries formed the nominal “Federation of Arab Republics”. (For a map of the federation, see Image:Esl.PNG.)
The Arab text in the scroll held by the “Golden Hawk of Qureish” reads Arabic اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية, ittiħād al-jumhūriyyāt al-`arabiyya, i.e. the Federation (literally “Union”) of Arab Republics — in a quasi-Kufic script (in its original form, with a very ornamental letter dal د).
Flag of Israel.svg Flag of Israel. Shows a Magen David (“Shield of David”) between two stripes. The Shield of David is a traditional Jewish symbol. The stripes symbolize a Jewish prayer shawl (tallit).
Flag of Jamaica.svg Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg Chinese Taipei Olympic Flag. According to the official website of Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee, Blue Sky(circle) & White Sun(triangles) above the Olympic rings is neither the National Emblem of the Republic of China, nor the Party Emblem of Kuomintang (KMT), but a design in between, where the triangles do not extend to the edge of the blue circle, as registered at International Olympic Committee in 1981 and digitally rendered in 2013. Besides, the blue outline of the five-petaled plum blossom is broader than the red one. Moreover, the CMYK code of the blue one and the Blue Sky & White Sun is "C100-M100-Y0-K0", and different from the Olympic rings (C100-M25-Y0-K0). Note that it's the only version recognized by IOC.
Flag of Portugal.svg Flag of Portugal, created by Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro (1857–1929), officially adopted by Portuguese government in June 30th 1911 (in use since about November 1910). Color shades matching the RGB values officially reccomended here. (PMS values should be used for direct ink or textile; CMYK for 4-color offset printing on paper; this is an image for screen display, RGB should be used.)
Flag of Iran.svg Flag of Iran. The tricolor flag was introduced in 1906, but after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 the Arabic words 'Allahu akbar' ('God is great'), written in the Kufic script of the Qur'an and repeated 22 times, were added to the red and green strips where they border the white central strip and in the middle is the emblem of Iran (which is a stylized Persian alphabet of the Arabic word Allah ("God")). The official ISIRI standard (translation at FotW) gives two slightly different methods of construction for the flag: a compass-and-straightedge construction used for File:Flag of Iran (official).svg, and a "simplified" construction sheet with rational numbers used for this file.
