Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Spain competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020 but postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] Since the nation's official debut in 1920, Spanish athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin (from which they withdrew as a boycott due the fact that the Games were to be held on the Nazi Germany) and the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, as a part of the boycott against the Soviet invasion of Hungary. Spain competed in all sports except baseball, rugby sevens, wrestling and surfing.

The nation finished the Games with 17 total medals: three gold, eight silver, and six bronze, matching the overall tally of the 2016 Olympics. Its gold medal haul dropped from 7 to 3. Two of Spain's gold medals were in sports making their Olympic debut this year: karate (Sandra Sánchez, women's kata), and sport climbing (Alberto Ginés López, men's combined).
