1906 Intercalated Games

Italy 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] Italian athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympics edition of the modern era, with the disputed exception of the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis where one Italian may have participated.[citation needed]

The Italian National Olympic Committee will reward the gold medalists with €180,000, the silver medalists with €90,000 and the bronze medalists with €60,000.[2]

Italy competed in all sports except badminton, field hockey, football, handball and rugby sevens.

Italy has ended the 2020 Summer Olympics winning 10 gold, 10 silver and 20 bronze medals, setting a new record in number of medals won (36 medals was first reached in the Los Angeles Olympics of 1932, and then again in the Rome Olympics of 1960).[3] Moreover, for the first time the country has received at least one medal in each day.

The official composition of the Italian team have been confirmed on 2 July and it reaches finally 76 athletes (41 men and 35 women) without alternate athletes.[16] 2 more qualified athletes have been withdrawn after their qualification. It is the largest team ever, since Los Angeles 1984 (50).[17]

Italian athletes further achieved the qualification, either by entry standard (qualifying time or mark) or by world ranking,[18] in the following track and field events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event).[19][20]

All the 5 relay teams, also a record for Italy, are qualified by designated competition (5 athletes per each relay team and 4 athletes only, 2 men and 2 women, for the mixed team). The athletes already qualified for 100 m and 400 m shall be part of their respective relay teams.

The fencing team was officially selected to the Italian roster for the Games on 11 June 2021, with three-time medalist Andrea Cassarà in the men's foil remarkably going to his fifth straight Games. Notable fencers also featured the defending champion Daniele Garozzo in the men's foil, Rio 2016 silver medalist Rossella Fiamingo in the women's épée, and London 2012 silver medalist Arianna Errigo in the women's foil.[37]

Artistic

[edit]

Italy fielded a full squad of seven gymnasts (two men and five women) into the Olympic competition. The women's squad finished fifth out of nine nations eligible for qualification in the team all-around to assure its Olympic berth at the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Stuttgart, Germany. On the men's side, Rio 2016 Olympian Ludovico Edalli and rookie Marco Lodadio booked their spots in the individual all-around and apparatus events at the same tournament, with the latter bagging the silver medal in the rings exercise.[40] Vanessa Ferrari initially qualified as an individual; however, Giorgia Villa's injury resulted in Ferrari's placement on the team. As a result, teammate Lara Mori took the individual berth.[41]

Italy entered three sport climbers into the Olympic tournament. Ludovico Fossali qualified directly for the men's combined event, by advancing to the final and securing one of the seven provisional berths at the 2019 IFSC World Championships in Hachioji, Japan.[61] On the women's side, 18-year-old Laura Rogora finished in the top six of those eligible for qualification at the IFSC World Olympic Qualifying Event in Toulouse, France, earning a quota place and joining with Fossali on the Italian roster.[62][63] The third and final slot was awarded to Michael Piccolruaz, after accepting an unused berth, as the next highest-ranked sport climber vying for qualification on the men's side at the Worlds.[64]
