Each of the 458 athletes on the 1980 US Summer Olympic team got medals as boycotting team members.
But they weren't entered for competition, skipped the Games, and didn't take the Athlete's Oath, so they are not Olympians according to the global Olympic movement & IOC.
Dozens of other nations followed US President Jimmy Carter with his Olympic Boycott. Thousands of athletes were forbidden from entering competition. So sad!
