 Australasia (1908–1912)

Australia 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] Australia is one of only five countries to have sent athletes to every Summer Olympics of the modern era, alongside Great Britain, France, Greece, and Switzerland.

Before the official postponement, the country initially withdrew from the Games over the coronavirus pandemic concerns. The executive board of the Australian Olympic Committee unanimously voted to tell their athletes to prepare for a postponed Games.[2]

Two days before the opening ceremony, Australia was awarded the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane; the games there open 23 July 2032.[3]

Australia competed in all sports except baseball, fencing, handball and wrestling.

Australia left Tokyo with 46 medals winning 17 gold medals equalling their best total from Athens 2004 along with 7 silver and 22 bronze.

Artistic swimming

[edit]

Australia fielded a squad of eight artistic swimmers to compete in the women's duet and team event through an Oceania continental selection in the team free routine at the 2019 FINA World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea.[18] The artistic swimming squad, highlighted by Rio 2016 Olympians Hannah Cross, Emily Rogers, and Amie Thompson, were officially selected to the Australian roster for the Games on 26 February 2020.[19] Initially set to compete in both duet and team events at the rescheduled Games, Rio 2016 Olympian Rose Stackpole officially announced her retirement from the sport in August 2020. Instead, rookie Hannah Burkhill was selected to complete the rest of the squad on 4 September 2020.[20]

On 2 July 2021, Carolyn Rayna Buckle was announced as an inclusion to the team after the retirement of Hannah Cross.

Sailing

[edit]

Australian sailors qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2018 Sailing World Championships, the class-associated Worlds, and the continental regattas.[86][87][88]

On 20 September 2019, the Australian Olympic Committee announced the first set of sailors selected for Tokyo 2020, namely Rio 2016 silver medallists and defending world 470 champions Mathew Belcher and William Ryan and world's current top-ranked Laser sailor Matthew Wearn.[89] The skiff crews (49er and 49erFX), highlighted by Ryan's sister and fellow Rio 2016 Olympian Jaime Ryan, were named to the sailing team on 27 February 2020, while Nacra 17 cousins Jason Waterhouse and Lisa Darmanin were set to defend their Rio 2016 podium finish at the Enoshima regatta, after being selected four days later.[90][91] Laser Radial sailor Mara Stransky joined the sailing roster on 19 March 2020, followed by the women's 470 crew (Nia Jerwood & Monique de Vries) over a year later.[92][93] Finn yachtsman and Rio 2016 Olympian Jake Lilley rounded out the sailing selection for the rescheduled Games on 21 April 2021.[94]

Tennis

[edit]

The main qualifying criterion will be players' positions on the ATP and WTA ranking lists published on 14 June 2021 after the 2021 French Open. The players entering were formally submitted by the International Tennis Federation. The ATP and WTA rankings were based on performances from the previous 52 weeks, and there were several tournaments in the two-month period between the time of the rankings being frozen for entry and the beginning of the tennis events at the Olympics. Players had to be part of a nominated team for three Billie Jean King Cup (women) or Davis Cup (men) events between the 2016 and 2020 Olympics. This requirement was reduced to two Fed/Davis Cup events during the Olympic cycle from 2016 to 2020 if their nation competed at the Zone Group round robin level for three of the four years or if the player had represented their nation at least twenty times.

No quota spots are available for mixed doubles; instead, all teams have to consist of players already qualified in the singles or doubles. The top 15 combined ranking teams and the host nation qualified.

Australia has four players eligible players in the men's tournaments and three in the women's.

Non-competing sports

[edit]

3 × 3 basketball

[edit]

The Australian women's 3v3 basketball team participated at the 2021 FIBA 3x3 Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament but were defeated in the quarterfinals by Spain 14–12. The men's team were not eligible for the 2021 FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament based on their ranking.

Baseball

[edit]

Australia was set to compete in the 2021 Final Qualifier tournament for Baseball at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Puebla, Mexico from 22 June to 26 June 2021. However, on 9 June, the team announced that due to "logistical challenges", they had made a "gut-wrenching" decision to withdraw from the tournament. Baseball Australia Chief Executive Glenn Williams said the withdrawal was due to protocols around quarantining as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia was ranked sixth in the world at the time of its announcement to withdraw.[146]

Fencing

[edit]

Australia sent six fencers to the 2021 Asian Zone Olympic Qualifying in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from 25 to 26 April. However, none of the athletes were successful in qualifying for the Olympic events.[147] The qualifiers eventually went to Roman Petrov from (Kyrgyzstan), Huang Mengkai (China), Sherzov Mamutov (Uzbekistan) in the men's event and Kiria Tikanah and Amita Berthier (Singapore), and Zaynab Dayibekova (Uzbekistan) in the women's event. Australia last participated in fencing at the 2004 Summer Olympics with Evelyn Halls in the women's épée.

Handball

[edit]

Australia has not participated in handball at the Olympic Games since the 2000 Summer Olympics where it was the host. It has not qualified for the sport in an away tournament as of 2021.

Wrestling

[edit]

Australia sent four athletes to the 2021 African & Oceania Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament and one athlete at the 2021 World Wrestling Olympic Qualification Tournament. However, no Australians who participated advanced to the finals to qualify for a berth at the wrestling event at the 2020 Olympics. Australia has won one silver and two bronze medals in freestyle wrestling but has not won a medal in the Greco-Roman event.
