1906 Intercalated Games

Canada 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.[1] Since the nation's debut in 1900, Canadian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the country's support for United States-led boycott.

Before the official postponement, the Canadian Olympic Committee and Canadian Paralympic Committee initially announced their intention not to send teams to both the Olympics and Paralympics.[2] Following the announcement on the postponement, the COC and CPC issued a statement that says, in part, that Team Canada "will rise to the challenge to showcase our very best on the international stage," without explicitly saying that Canadian athletes will take part in the games.[3]

As part of the Canada Day celebrations held on Parliament Hill, Ottawa in 2019, former three time Olympic gold medalist in rowing, Marnie McBean was named as the Chef De Mission for the team.[4]

On July 13, 2021, the Canadian Olympic Committee officially announced the full team of 370 athletes (145 men and 225 women) competing in 30 sports, the largest team the country has sent to the games since Los Angeles 1984 and an increase of 56 from Rio 2016.[5] 131 coaches will also accompany the team.[5] A total of eight squads qualified in team sports, tied for the most ever with Montreal 1976.[6] A total of 227 athletes competed at their first Olympics, and 134 of them returned from Rio 2016.[7] On July 15, 2021, Vasek Pospisil withdrew from the tennis competitions, which reduced the team size to 370.[8] On July 24, Annie Guglia received a reallocated spot in the women's street skateboarding event after an injury to a competitor from South Africa. This increased the team back to 371 athletes (145 men and 226 women).[9]

Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Olympic Committee announced in July 2021, that travelling alternates would be allowed to compete in the following team sports: field hockey, football (soccer), handball, rugby sevens and water polo. The alternates for these team sports are listed below and consisted of a further nine athletes (two in field hockey, four in soccer, one per rugby sevens and water polo teams). However, these nine do not officially count towards the team size.[10] Canada's Olympic team contested all sports on the Olympic program except handball, modern pentathlon and surfing.[11] Alternates in soccer, rugby sevens and water polo competed, and are reflected in the table below. This increased the team size to 378. Two athletes in fencing and one in triathlon was added during the competition due to injury replacements. This meant the final team size was 381 athletes (148 men and 233 women).

On July 19, 2021, basketball player Miranda Ayim and rugby sevens athlete Nathan Hirayama were named as co-flagbearers for the Parade of Nations during the opening ceremony.[12][13] On August 8, 2021, gold medalist and Olympic record holder in the decathlon, Damian Warner was named as the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.[14][15]

The 24 medals won at the 2020 Summer Olympics mark the country's best-ever total medals result after the 1984 Games, surpassing the 22 medals won in 1996 and 2016, while also equalling the most number of gold medals won in 1992.[16] At the 1984 Summer Olympics, which were boycotted by the Soviet Bloc, Canada won 44 medals.

Boxing

[edit]

Canada qualified five boxers, one man and four women. With the cancellation of the 2021 Pan American Qualification Tournament in Buenos Aires, Caroline Veyre (women's featherweight), Myriam Da Silva (women's welterweight), and Tammara Thibeault (women's middleweight) finished among the top three of their respective weight divisions in the IOC's Boxing Task Force Rankings for the Americas.[39] On June 9, 2021, Wyatt Sanford earned a spot on the team, as the highest ranked boxer from the Americas not already qualified.[40]

On June 30, 2021, Mandy Bujold won her appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport to compete at the Games. The court ruled that the qualification system must accommodate pregnant or postpartum women during the qualification period.[41] The full team of five athletes was officially named to the team on July 7, 2021.[42]

Slalom

[edit]

Canadian canoeists qualified three boats through the 2019 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in La Seu d'Urgell, Spain.[43] With the cancellation of the 2021 Pan American Championships, Canada accepted the invitation from the ICF to send a canoeist in the women's slalom C-1 to the Games, as the highest-ranked eligible nation from the Americas.[44][45] The team was officially named on June 3, 2021.[46] For the first time since Sydney 2000, Canada qualified entries all events.[46]

Sprint

[edit]

Canada qualified three boats and nine athlete spots (four each in men's and women's kayak, and one in women's canoe) at the 2019 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Szeged, Hungary.[47] In March 2021, the Pan American sprint qualifier that was scheduled to be held in Curitiba, Brazil was cancelled due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[48] Due to the cancellation, the International Canoe Federation announced that Canada had been allocated an additional two quotas in each of men's kayak and canoe, along with an additional quota in women's kayak. This meant the team stood at a total of six men's kayakers and two canoeists, along with five women's kayakers and one canoeist (for a total of 14 athletes).[44][49]

In March 2021, Canoe Kayak Canada selected the C-1 and K-4 women's boats based on performances at the trials.[50][51] In May 2021, Canoe Kayak Canada named the men's kayak and canoe teams.[52][53] The final team of 16 athletes (eight per gender) was officially named on July 7, 2021. In the team announcement, a further kayak and canoe quotas was awarded to Canada in the women's events.[54]

Cycling

[edit]

Canada qualified a total of 24 cyclists (11 men and 13 women), the largest cycling team the county has ever qualified for the games.[55] This is broken down further into five in road, 13 in track, three in mountain biking and two in BMX racing.[56][57]

Road

[edit]

Canada entered a team of six road cyclists (three per gender). The men qualified three athletes by finishing 20th in the UCI Nation Ranking, while the women qualified two competitors, by finishing in eighth.[58]

On July 29, 2020, cyclists Hugo Houle, Michael Woods, Karol-Ann Canuel, and Leah Kirchmann were officially named to the Canadian roster for their second consecutive Games.[59] The final cyclist named to the team was Guillaume Boivin on July 6, 2021.[60] On July 13, 2021, it was announced that a third women's quota was reallocated to Canada. This quota was given to Allison Jackson for the road race event.[61][62]

Track

[edit]

Following the completion of the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, Canadian riders accumulated spots for both men and women in the team pursuit and madison, as well as the women's omnium, based on their country's results in the final UCI Olympic rankings. Canada also entered cyclists to compete each in the men's and women's sprint, as well as the men's and women's keirin, based on the final individual UCI Olympic rankings.[63] Cycling Canada later decided to not enter a team in the women's madison, due to a lack of competition experience in the event, coupled with the fact it would take place before the omnimum.[64]

The full Canadian track team of 13 cyclists (six men and seven women) was officially named on July 29, 2020, featuring Rio 2016 bronze medallists Allison Beveridge, Jasmin Duehring, and Georgia Simmerling in the women's team pursuit and Vincent De Haître, a speed skater and two-time Winter Olympian slated to compete at his first summer Games.[59]

Equestrian

[edit]

Canada qualified a team of six equestrians. Canadian equestrians qualified a full team in team dressage competition through the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.[73][74] Meanwhile, two eventing spots were awarded to the Canadian equestrians based on the results in the individual FEI Olympic rankings for Group E (North America and Caribbean).[75]

On 17 December 2019, the show jumping team was officially dropped from the Games over a positive drug test by rider Nicole Walker for cocaine; hence, one individual jumping spot was awarded to the Canadian equestrians by securing the last of four available quotas at the Pan American Games.[76]

The full team, consisted of two men and four women, was named on July 6, 2021.[77]

Meanwhile, Marc-Antoine Blais-Belanger completed the Canadian roster by winning the individual men's épée competition at the Pan American Zonal Qualifier in San José, Costa Rica.[81] The official team was named on May 20, 2021.[79] Both substitutes for the team events, Blake Broszus and Kelleigh Ryan came on in the team event, which increased the team size to eleven athletes (six men and five women).[82][83]
