Because of the U.S. boycott, changes were made to [[Olympic Games ceremony#Closing|the traditional elements of the closing ceremony]] that represent the handover to the host city of [[1984 Summer Olympics|the next Summer Olympics]] in Los Angeles. Among them, the [[Flag of Los Angeles|flag of the city of Los Angeles]] instead of [[Flag of the United States|the United States flag]] was raised, and the [[Olympic Anthem]] instead of the [[The Star-Spangled Banner|national anthem of the United States]] was played. There was also no "Antwerp Ceremony", where the ceremonial Olympic flag was transferred from the Mayor of Moscow to the Mayor of Los Angeles; instead the flag was kept by the Moscow city authorities until 1984. Furthermore, there was no next host city presentation.

Both the opening and closing ceremonies were shown in [[Yuri Ozerov (director)|Yuri Ozerov]]'s 1981 film ''Oh, Sport – You Are The World!'' ({{langx|ru|link=no|О спорт, ты – мир!}}).
