Qatar 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 tenth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics.
Fares El-Bakh became the first Qatari Olympic gold medallist.[2]
One of the most memorable events in their second gold medal was Mutaz Essa Barshim who, alongside Italian high jump athlete Gianmarco Tamberi, shared the gold medal respectively, with a memorable quote of Mutaz asking the official "Can we have two golds?".[3]
