Olympic medalists in 2020 Summer Olympics, the swimmer Fernando Scheffer and tennis player Luisa Stefani were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, table tennis player Hugo Calderano and rhythmic gymnast Nicole Pircio were the country's flagbearers during the closing ceremony.
