# Sweden at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Sweden 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. Swedish athletes have competed at every Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis.
Winning gold in three events, it was the most gold medals won by Sweden in the Summer Olympics since the 2004 Games in Athens. The overall 9 medal haul was lower than the three preceding Olympic Games however. With Daniel Ståhl and Simon Pettersson winning gold and silver respectively in Men's discus throw, it was the first double for Sweden in an athletics event since the 1948 Olympics.
