Zimbabwe 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, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It is the nation's tenth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics as an independent nation under the name Zimbabwe, after appearing as Southern Rhodesia and Rhodesia in the colonial era.
The Zimbabwe Olympic Committee (ZOC) stood with five athletes at the Olympiad, which was the second-smallest Zimbabwean team since their debut in 1928. For the third consecutive Olympiad, Zimbabwe left the games without any medals. Golfer Scott Vincent was the only Zimbabwean athlete within reach of the medals. He tied for sixteenth place in men's golf, finishing four strokes behind bronze medalist Pan Cheng-tsung.[2]
