I think it will happen, certainly if it escalates. The boycott in 1980 was a direct response to the invasion of Afghanistan. Xi is starting to get reckless, and there is a year to go, any sort of mass casualty or major attack on infrastructure would make it a sure thing.

Biden is already pushing buttons and the Russians really have nothing to lose as they are already out. Never mind the Olympics, neither side is backing down right now and the Olympics could be an afterthought by next winter.
