# Turkey at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Turkey 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, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the nation's official debut in 1908, Turkish athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles at the period of worldwide Great Depression, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its support for the United States-led boycott.
Turkey surpassed its previous medal count from its previous appearance in the 2016 Summer Olympics with 13 medals, which was the most successful with two Golds, two Silvers and nine Bronze medals, respectively.
