Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Madagascar sent a delegation that competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The games were originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, but were postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the nation's thirteenth appearance at the Olympics, since its debut in 1964.[2]

Six athletes from Madagascar were selected for the Games, competing in four different sports. Damiella Nomenjanahary and Éric Andriantsitohaina were chosen to be Madagascar's flag bearers during the Parade of Nations of the opening ceremony.[2][3][4] There were no Malagasy athletes at the closing ceremony.[5]
