North Macedonia 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] It was the nation's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics and the first under the country's new name.[2] North Macedonia won their first ever silver medal, won by Dejan Georgievski in the Men's +80 kg event in Taekwondo, with the nation having previously only received a bronze medal.[3]
