# Togo at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Togo 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 made its debut in 1972, Togolese athletes participated in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for two occasions, the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the African and the US-led boycotts, respectively.
Togo stood with four athletes in four sports. The Togolese athletes did not win any medals, marking the third consecutive Olympiad without any Togolese medals. Togo had previously won a single medal; Benjamin Boukpeti at the 2008 Summer Olympics.
