Italy competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1] Italian athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympics edition of the modern era, with the disputed exception of the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis where one Italian may have participated.^{[citation needed]}

The Italian National Olympic Committee will reward the gold medalists with €180,000, the silver medalists with €90,000 and the bronze medalists with €60,000.^[2]

Italy competed in all sports except badminton, field hockey, football, handball and rugby sevens.

Italy has ended the 2020 Summer Olympics winning 10 gold, 10 silver and 20 bronze medals, setting a new record in number of medals won (36 medals was first reached in the Los Angeles Olympics of 1932, and then again in the Rome Olympics of 1960).^[3] Moreover, for the first time the country has received at least one medal in each day.

Notable moments

Historical records in 2021

On 30 July, Lucilla Boari became the first Italian woman to win an Olympic medal in archery, winning the bronze medal in the women's individual.^[4]
On 31 July, Irma Testa became the first Italian woman to win an Olympic medal in boxing, ending with a bronze in the women's featherweight.^[5]
On 1 August, Marcell Jacobs became the first Italian to compete in the 100 metres final and to win the gold medal, with a time of 9.80 seconds, setting a new record for Italian team after 121 years from the first participation in this Olympic discipline.^[6]
On 1 August, Thomas Ceccon, Nicolò Martinenghi, Federico Burdisso and Alessandro Miressi got on podium winning the bronze medal in Men's 4 × 100 metre medley relay, setting the first time an Italian Team's swimmer succeeded in winning an Olympic medal in that event. Previously, on 26 July, both Ceccon and Miressi, along with Lorenzo Zazzeri and Manuel Frigo, succeeded in winning the first Olympic medal for the Italian team in the Men's 4 × 100 metre freestyle relay, ending with a silver medal.
On 1 August, the high jumper Gianmarco Tamberi became the first Italian man to be on podium of Men's high jump, winning a joint gold medal with Qatar athlete Mutaz Essa Barshim. Overall, he is the second Italian athlete to win an Olympic medal in this sport after Sara Simeoni who won 1 gold and 2 silver medals respectively at the Moscow 1980 (gold), Montreal 1976 (first silver) and Los Angeles 1984 (second silver). Moreover, both Tamberi and Barshim agreed to share the gold medal, after a nail-biting tie between both of them as they cleared 2.37m with identical paths, in a rare instance where the athletes of different nations agreed to share the same medal in the history of Olympics.^[7]^[8] Barshim in particular was quoted in his post-match presentation asking, "Can we have two golds?",^[9] representing one of the Olympic's most memorable moment ever.
On 2 August, the artistic gymnast Vanessa Ferrari succeeded in winning the silver medal in the women's floor, representing the first individual Olympic medal ever for a female Italian gymnast.^[10] It is also the first Olympic medal for Italian women gymnastics in 93 years, since Amsterdam 1928 when Italian Women Team won the silver medal in Women's all-around.
On 6 August, Italy reached and surpassed its own record for the highest number of Olympic medals won in a single edition. Such record of 36 medals was first reached in the Los Angeles Olympics of 1932, and then again in the Rome Olympics of 1960.^[11] Italy ended the Olympics with 40 medals. Moreover, for the first time the country has clinched at least one medal per day.
After winning no medal at all in 2016, Italy reached its best Olympic performance ever in athletics, winning five gold medals (Gianmarco Tamberi in high jump, Lamont Marcell Jacobs in 100 metres, Massimo Stano and Antonella Palmisano in their respective 20 km racewalking events, and the 4x100 men relay).

Archery

One Italian archer qualified for the men's individual recurve by reaching the quarterfinal stage and obtaining one of the four available spots at the 2019 World Archery Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.^[12] Another Italian archer secured a spot in the women's individual recurve by winning the mixed team title at the 2019 European Games in Minsk, Belarus.^[13] Meanwhile, three Italian archers qualified for the women's events by securing the last of three quota places available in the team recurve at the 2021 WA Final Qualification Tournament in Paris, France.^[14]
