Answer
The Olympic boycotts affected Sotomayor by causing him to miss out on competing in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. This was due to the ongoing Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, which resulted in several Eastern Bloc countries, including Cuba, boycotting the Games in retaliation for the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
