Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Portugal competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, from 23 July to 8 August 2021. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] Portuguese athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games since the nation's debut in 1912.
These were the most successful Olympic Games for Portugal as its delegation won a total of four medals, surpassing the three medals of Los Angeles 1984 and Athens 2004. For the first time ever, Portugal won at least one medal of each kind and reached the podium in more than two sports in the same Games.
