San Marino 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 fifteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics.
A bronze medal, the nation's first Olympic medal, was won by female trap shooter Alessandra Perilli. With this San Marino became the smallest country, by population, ever to have won any Olympic medal.[2] Just two days later, on 31 July, Perilli and Gian Marco Berti won the country's second medal, a silver in the mixed trap shooting event. San Marino then took home its third medal on 5 August, with Myles Amine winning bronze in the 86 kg freestyle wrestling event. With 5 competitors in 4 sports, San Marino won the most overall medals per population.[3]
