# Netherlands at the 2020 Summer Olympics

The Netherlands 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. Dutch athletes have competed at every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the sparsely attended 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis and 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne (except the equestrian events in Stockholm), which the Netherlands boycotted because of the Soviet invasion of Hungary.

## Medalists

On 28 July, the Netherlands won eight medals on a single day, which broke the country's previous record of seven established on 11 August 1928 during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam.
