Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Pakistan competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.[1][2] 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 Pakistan's eighteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics.

This Olympics was Pakistan's best performance since 2000 with both Talha Talib & Arshad Nadeem reaching the finals of their respective events.[4][5][6][7] Gulfam Joseph also barely missed out on reaching the final of his event.[8][9]
