Summary

Map of Olympic boycotts of 1976, 1980 and 1984. Countries which went to all three games are shown in dark grey. The source for the info on the 76 and 84 boycotting countries was the wikipedia pages on the respective Olympics. The source for the 1980 info was old TIME magazine archives available online from 1980 and the list on w:1980 Summer Olympics boycott.

Note that data on countries which boycotted the 1980 games is incomplete - Of the 64/65 countries which boycotted those games, there are about 10 more countries than shown here which boycotted them - these would be made up from either those shown in yellow or in grey here.

For maps showing all the countries which participated in these games, see 1976, 1980 and 1984

There was also a boycott of the 1988 games in Seoul by Cuba and North Korea. Pyongyang did not send a team, because the South Korean Olympic Committee refused the request of North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung to hold some events in his country. The North Korean regime spent a fortune to build new stadiums and venues for the games which would eventually be used during the Youth World Games a year later. Cuba's Castro regime supported North Korea's boycott due to Communist sympathy.
