The Romanian athletes were greeted with warm applause as they entered theLos Angeles Memorial Coliseum during the opening ceremony, in part an affirmation of the nation's defiance of the boycott. The Romanian olympic team was phenomenally successful at the games for a modestly populated nation, ultimately placing just under theUnited States in the gold medal tally.Medalists
