Switzerland 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] Swiss athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games in the modern era, except for a partial boycott of the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne in protest at the Soviet invasion of Hungary.
Switzerland not only repeated its gold medal tally from the previous games but also increased its overall medal tally from 7 medals last time to 13 medals. They won medals in double digit for the first time since 1952 Helsinki.
