Israel competed at the2020 Summer Olympics inTokyo with its largest contingent to date − a delegation of 90 athletes, 55 men and 35 women, who competed in 15 different sports. This was almost double the previous number of 47 athletes who represented Israel at the2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.[1][2] The Games were also Israel's most successful to date, winning four medals, including two gold.[1] At Tokyo, Israel marked its Olympic debuts in surfing (new to the 2020 Games), baseball (returning to the Games), archery, equestrian and marathon swimming.
Israel returned home from Tokyo with two gold and two bronze medals, a record number of medals won by Israel in one Olympics. Artistic gymnastArtem Dolgopyat won the gold medal in the men's floor exercise and rhythmic gymnastLinoy Ashram won the gold medal at the women's rhythmic individual all-around event. Taekwondo practitionerAvishag Semberg won the bronze medal in the Women's 49 kg category and thenational judo team won another bronze medal in the mixed team event. Several Israeli athletes advanced to the finals of their respective sporting events, but narrowly missed out on standing on the winner's podium.[1]
Originally scheduled to take place in the summer of 2020, the Games were postponed because of theCOVID-19 pandemic until 23 July to 8 August 2021.[3] Since Israel's debut in1952, Israeli athletes have appeared in every edition of theSummer Olympic Games, other than the1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, which it opted not to attend because of the nation's support for theUS-led boycott. This was Israel's 17th appearance at the Summer Olympics.
