Even 76 had the boycott by African countries due to New Zealand being allowed in after their rugby team toured South Africa.

You're right, although that boycott probably only affected a few track and field events and the Republic of China (Taiwan) also boycotted because Canada didn't approve of its name.

However, none of those absences had the impact that the 1980 and 1984 boycotts did.
