| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Brazil, the previous host of the 2016 Olympics at Rio de Janeiro, 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.[3] It was the nation's twenty-third appearance at the Summer Olympics, having competed in all editions of the modern era from 1920 onwards, except the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.
Tied with 2016 Games in number of gold medals (7) and silver medals (6) but with 2 more bronze medals (8), this was the nation's most successful overall performance at the Olympics, therefore becoming the second nation to surpass its medal total at the Olympics immediately following one that it hosted (the other one was Great Britain in the 2016 Olympics). The country broke the record for medals in one edition (21) and was also in the highest position on medal table on games history (twelfth place). It was also the edition of the Games where Brazil won medals in more different disciplines.[4]
In this edition, Brazil won its first medals ever in three sports: tennis (with the bronze medal obtained by the double Laura Pigossi and Luisa Stefani) and the debutants skateboarding (the 3 silver medals won by Kelvin Hoefler, Rayssa Leal and Pedro Barros) and surfing (the gold medal achieved by Ítalo Ferreira). Brazil also won its first gold medal ever in canoeing, won by Isaquias Queiroz.
