New Zealand did not officially participate in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, USSR as the government of that time supported the US-led boycott.[1] However, four New Zealand athletes competed as independents[1] under the banner of the NZOCGA. Tay Wilson was the chef de mission.
Originally 98 competitors had been selected for the event.
