Puerto Rico competed at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, USSR. Notably, the nation did not fully participate in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Athletes competed under the Olympic Flag instead of Puerto Rican flag.
Famous quotes containing the word summer:
“While yet it is cold January, and snow and ice are thick and solid, the prudent landlord comes from the village to get ice to cool his summer drink; impressively, even pathetically, wise, to foresee the heat and thirst of July now in January,—wearing a thick coat and mittens! when so many things are not provided for. It may be that he lays up no treasures in this world which will cool his summer drink in the next.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
