Spain at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Spain is expected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the Games have been postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] 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 Nazi Germany (from which they withdrew due to the Spanish Civil War), and the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, as a protest against the Soviet invasion of Hungary.
